All of the Photos From the #BelieveSurvivors Walkouts
Almost 100 groups planned a nationwide walkout on Monday to stand in solidarity with sexual assault survivors, according to The Hill. The walkout comes on the heels of Brett Kavanaugh's potential Supreme Court confirmation, as Kavanaugh has now been publicly accused of sexual misconduct by two women, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez.
The walkouts began at 1 p.m. on Sept. 24, which is the hour when Dr. Ford was originally slated to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. She is now set to testify on Thursday.
Here, walkout photos from around the country with the hashtags #CancelKavanaugh and #BelieveSurvivors.

Following more allegations of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh, we need to make sure Republican senators know they no longer have a choice - they MUST abandon their support for Trump's Supreme Court nominee.
