Linda Sarsour on Kavanaugh: ‘We’re Going to Do Everything We Can To Keep Him off the Supreme Court’

‘This is a global movement’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SARSOUR: "One of the things — absolutely. One of the things that our mission was to change the narrative and to reframe the conversation. It was not going to be business as usual. Every front page in America above the fold was about dissent and the power of women. We’ve been occupying Senate offices for three weeks. We have engaged in mass civil disobedience, engaged in mobilization. This is not just about Brett Kavanaugh. We’re still focused on midterm elections and will win back the house in 2018. Then come January, ‘19, 2019, we will in with an agenda. We are brilliant, we are strategic. We have a plan, and we need to hold those accountable who work for us. We’re prepared, and we want the administration to know that women will not sit back, we will not go barks and we will not — not go back, and we will not allow our rights to be taken 40 years back. This is what the lifetime appointment of Brett Kavanaugh does. This is serious. This is a generational fight. And the Republicans want the Supreme Court. And we’re saying absolutely not. Not on our watch. It’s not just going to be in Washington, D.C. This is a global movement. We have global chapters who will join us as they did on January 21st of 2017. We hope you join us, January 19, 2019, visit us at womensmarch.com to get the information."
