Washington DC, October 4, 2018. Thousands gathered here today for a rally and march to oppose the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. The very large, diverse* and energized crowd of protesters assembled at the E. Barrett Prettyman United States Court House and then marched to the U.S. Supreme Court for a rally with speeches. Judge Kavanaugh has been accused of sexual assault by at least three women and of lying to Congress numerous times by many prominent legislators. Today's action is a continuation of weeks of nationwide non-violent protests against Kavenaugh that have resulted in over a thousand arrests. Over three hundred were arrested in the Hart Senate Office Building atrium just this evening. Despite the best efforts of the protesters it is expected that the morally bankrupt Senate Republicans will stumble Kavenaugh's confirmation over the finish line on Friday or Saturday. Why? Kavanaugh will compliantly hand President Donald J. Trump a "get out of jail free" card if an anticipated and much deserved impeachment proceeding is launched when the balance of power in Congress shifts to the Democrats.
*Women led the way by far in numbers and were the chief organizers, the most militant and the most arrested.
The annual women only march “Reclaim the night” took place with a large turnout despite the heavy rain in London. The march organised by the London Feminist Network is against rape and all forms of male violence against women.

Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) was founded by Iraq war veterans in July 2004 at the annual convention of Veterans for Peace (VFP) in Boston to give a voice to the large number of active duty service people and veterans who are against this war, but are under various pressures to remain silent.
From its inception, IVAW has called for:
- Immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces in Iraq;
- Reparations for the destruction and corporate pillaging of Iraq so that Iraqi people can control their own lives and future; and
- Full benefits, adequate healthcare (including mental health), and other supports for returning servicemen and women.
