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.

Go ladies! It's great to see democracy in action!
Great to see them making clear that they don't do anything useful or necessary, and that their employers are happier with them out of the office.
Personally, MY employer actually needs me present to help keep things running, and doesn't have time for me to wander the streets, pretending that "democracy" is people trying to control the government through mobs.
