'#CancelKavanaugh' Bus Trip Will Take Brooklyn Protestors To D.C.

A bus trip leaving Park Slope Thursday morning will take Brooklynites to Washington D.C. for protests.

PARK SLOPE, NY — It's the bus to crazy town.

Progressive Brooklynites will pack into a Park Slope bus headed to Washington, D.C. tomorrow for a "#CancelKavanaugh" road trip to protest Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation and support Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who on Sept. 27 testified to a Senate committee that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in the 1980s.

Kavanaugh denied allegations of sexual misconduct by multiple accusers and called his confirmation process a “national disgrace” during his fiery testimony to the committee, which has been the subject of countless think pieces and was parodied by Saturday Night Live.
