On Friday morning, Donald Trump tweeted that Christine Blasey Ford should have reported her assault sooner if it was as “bad as she says.” Ford came forward with an allegation of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, and since then, she has been endlessly harassed, threatened, and her credibility has been repeatedly questioned. Now, there will be a national #BelieveSurvivors walkout on Monday, in solidarity with Ford and in protest of Brett Kavanaugh. Here’s what to know.
The walkout will begin at 1:00 p.m. EST.
The walkout will begin on Monday, September 24, at 1:00 p.m. EST (10:00 a.m. PST), and go until 2:00 p.m.. In Washington D.C., dozens of organizations will meet in the Senate Hall atrium at 12:30 p.m., and walk to the Supreme Court building for a National speakout. The Facebook event page says that if you are unable to walkout, you can still post a photo or video to the page in solidarity.

Those walking out will be wearing black.
In addition to walking out, those participating should wear black clothing, as a sign of solidarity. During the walkout, those participating should take photos or videos and post to social media with the hashtag #Believe Survivors.
Organizations across the country are taking part.
Planned Parenthood, NARAL, National Center for Transgender Equality, and the Human Rights Campaign, and 19 other organizations have all announced that they will be participating. Tarana Burke, founder of the #MeToo movement, shared the event as well. Several celebrities, including Samantha Bee, Alyssa Milano, and Chelsea Handler, have also posted to social media that they will be taking part in the walkout.

“I’ll be joining the nationwide walkout with my sisters and brothers across the country on Monday,” wrote Milano on Twitter. “To stand in solidarity with her and survivors everywhere.”
Everything you need to know about them:
They are lunatics.

Normal folks won’t miss arguing with them and workplace productivity will soar
The one thing I hate about this crap, it throws out the innocent till proven guilty principle we have and makes it into guilty till proven innocent.

Let’s play their game: Start executing 16 year old murderers....start deporting people with dark skin because hey, someone said they were here illegally....we can go down a very, very bad and dark road if they want to play games.....

Diane Feinstein raped me 50 years ago. The memory was so horrible I blocked it out until now.
Another little protest. Do these people not have jobs?
I’m staging a walk in, #GetAJobAndKeepARoofOverYourKids’Heads.
Black is the new pink.
Everything to know except for who’s paying for it....
I remembered this morning, Feinstein flashed her vajayjay at me. I don’t remember where or when or who was there but she did and you have to believe me.
LMAO “survivors”. Give me a f-ing break! These women are pathetic. I have not seen ONE hard fact to corroborate ANY claim! This is the same as the Salem Witch Hunt.
#MeToo has become #GetInLineBitch
Do these people not have jobs?””’
IF anyone who was on MY payroll did this, they would no longer have their job. There is a time & a place.
Punishing employers for their version of who or what Kavanaugh is is NOT the way to do this.
I am totally ashamed of women who are being led around by their gender is instead of their brains. First it was “Vote For Hillary——Because she is a Woman”. That fell flat. For a country with more women getting an ‘education’ than ever before, they certainly are being stupid.
How would they like their father—brother—son—husband—to be accused like this? How about THEMSELVES????
Women want equal pay for equal work? Do they consider this ‘Equal Work?’
It’s pronounced “pound-me-too”
