On Saturday, October 6, the Senate is expected to vote on Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court, even as his nomination remains highly controversial. The American Bar Association has announced that they are reopening their evaluation of Kavanaugh, but their evaluation likely won’t be complete before the Senate vote. Meanwhile, thousands of people are planning on joining across the country to protest Kavanaugh’s nomination and possible appointment to the Supreme Court. Read on for more details about the rallies and protests that are happening on Saturday, October 6.
These are the protests currently scheduled to happen, as of the time of publication. More may be added. To see the most updated list and map, visit the map on the We Are Ultraviolet webpage here. The Women’s March group is referring to these protests as #CancelKavanaugh, but the We Are Ultraviolet group is referring to them as #StopKavanaugh or “No Justice, No Seat.”
