Handmaids Brigade says:

Stop the Confirmation! TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW!

Theocracy + Stealing Election = Fascism

“The confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett must be stopped because it is part of Trump’s plan to steal the election,” says RefuseFascism.org co-initiator Sunsara Taylor.

“Trump admitted he wants to ram through this confirmation before the election so that the Supreme Court would throw the election to him should it be contested,” Taylor states. “Meanwhile, he is already contesting it: calling mail-in voting ‘fraudulent,’ refusing to promise a peaceful transfer of power, and calling for an ‘army’ of ‘pole-watchers’ in ‘Democrat-run cities.'”

“During her confirmation hearings, Amy Coney Barrett gave every reason to believe she’d be a willing instrument of Trump’s election theft when she, too, refused to endorse a peaceful transfer of power, refused to say that armed voter intimidation is illegal, and refused to acknowledge that the president does not have the right to postpone the election,” Taylor says.

“We protest, dressed as Handmaids,” Taylor says, “to oppose the Christian theocracy Amy Coney Barrett’s appointment represents and to call millions to join us in the streets in nonviolent protest demanding Trump/Pence Out Now!”
