    Where do we go from here?

    They did just what they said they would. They rammed him through, violating Senate process, prescendent, and any semblance of fairness or decency. The emperor really has no clothes at this point.

    So now, probably no matter what happens in November, we are facing a generation (plus?) of Supreme Court decisions that will empower corporations and could dismantle any semblance of human rights and protections for women, people of color, poor people, immigrants, LGBTQ folks... probably more of us than we even know.

    Nancy Pelosi has already said the Democrats won't be pushing for impeachment of Kavanaugh, despite how shady the whole process was.

    It feels like the whole country is still reeling from the experience of the flagrant disrespect and nastiness the Republicans and Trump spat out at women and sexual assault survivors.

    I don't know about you, but I am hearing stories from every corner of women who have been so triggered by the past few weeks it has been hard to get out of bed. I'm also hearing incredible stories of bravery as many survivors were moved by Dr. Ford's courage to show their own and tell their stories -- many for the first time or more publicly than ever before.

    We can take this energy, this rage, and we can channel it into change. In fact we absolutely must. But voting for a new Congress alone will absolutely not get it done.

    Where do we go from here?

    I don't have all the answers, but we need to talk about it.

    Please join me Monday evening to begin that discussion -- on Facebook Live at 5pm Pacific/8pm Eastern.

    I want to hear your ideas. We at Move to Amend have a few of our own. Let's talk.
    Ever onward,
    Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap
    National Director, Move to Amend
    How to attend?
