On Thursday, Emily Ratajkowski, Amy Schumer and 300 other protestors were arrested in Washington, D.C. after participating in a public demonstration against the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh.

"Men who hurt women can no longer be placed in positions of power. Kavanaugh's confirmation as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States is a message to women in this country that they do not matter. I demand a government that acknowledges, respects and supports women as much as it does men." {Hypebae}
