The protest was organized by the Women’s March and the Center for Popular Democracy where hundreds of women participated in a sit-in at the Hart Senate Office building to demand all migrant families separated by the president’s “zero-tolerance” policy be reunited.
“Arrested. Stay Strong. Keep fighting. #WomenDisobey,” Susan tweeted during the protest.
Capitol Police confirmed in a statement that 575 people were arrested and charged with unlawfully demonstrating as the protesters wrapped themselves in foil blankets, reminiscent of the silver blankets migrant children have been seen with in photos taken from detention centers.
Arrested. Stay strong. Keep fighting. #WomenDisobey
