Women Walk Out Across The Country In Support Of Kavanaugh’s Accusers
Huffpo ^ | 9-24-2018 | Andy Campbell, Emma Gray, and Laura Bassett

At 1 p.m. on Monday, supporters of the women who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault walked out of their homes and workplaces.

The national walkout was promoted partially in response to the backlash these and other women face when going public with stories of sexual assault and rape. The anti-sexual-harassment organization Times Up tweeted on Sunday that “WOMEN MUST BE HEARD” in a “MOMENT OF SOLIDARITY” with Kavanaugh’s accusers, Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez.

It urged people to wear black and leave wherever they are in protest, using the hashtag #BelieveSurvivors on social media.

In New York, people dressed in black began to gather in Washington Square Park as the walkout began at 1 p.m. The crowd chanted “Believe survivors” and held signs that read, “#TimesUp Kavanaugh.”

Not even a pretense of objectivity. No wonder Everyone now calls them "Fake News".

Not a word from them, of course, about Ellison beating women.

None of these women know Brett Kavanaugh. 70 women who do know him well have come out in support of him

Theyre not supporting the accuser. They’re supporting the ability to continue to kill their inconvenient babies.

“Fire them all. Help the company.”

Always good to know who to let go first.

Employees who would walk out over this probably don’t do enough real work to when they’re there that they’ll be missed.

Wear black? They would pick the most worn color already to make it look like they have more support than the do.
