District of Columbia

Abortion rights supporters are risking arrest on Capitol Hill, sitting-in en masse at the intersection of First and Constitution. “We have nothing to lose, we have everything to gain, we must win,” they sing, with police beginning to encircle them

Traffic stopped. Arrest warnings made. Cops walking protesters out of the area one or two at a time, crowd erupting in cheers whenever someone is led away. First major civil disobedience action near the Supreme Court in the week since Roe was overturned.

Arrests continue. I’d guess crowd that stayed to risk arrest numbered around a hundred, about half are left, chanting “we won’t back down” and “abortion is a human right” outside Senate office buildings. Super hot on the pavement.

The Rev. William Barber II, who led thousands with the Poor People's Campaign in a Pennsylvania Avenue rally earlier this month, joins the sit-in. "We won't back down: Every city, every town, every street," he says, moments before he's led away by police.

Last of the arrests. Protesting the end of Roe, one block over from the court.
