Protesters dress in costumes from “The Handmaids Tale” attempt to move after being surrounded by supporters of Judge Amy Coney Barrett outside of the Supreme Court the morning that the confirmation hearings begin for Judge Amy Coney Barrett to become an Associate Justice on Capitol Hill on October 12, 2020 in Washington, D.C. Barrett was nominated by President Donald Trump to fill the vacancy left by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away in September.
A coalition of women’s and civil rights groups marched on Tuesday in protest of what they described as “rushed hearing” to consider the judge’s appointment to fill the seat vacated by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Participating organizations included the National Women’s Law Center, Alliance for Justice, The Leadership Conference
