Protests against Kavanaugh continue as full senate vote looms
Matthew Zank | October 2Tensions were high on the corner of Central Avenue and 1st Street Monday night as activists took to the streets to protest the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Members of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), as well as members of the community, gathered to criticize Kavanaugh and what his nomination could mean for the country. “We can’t allow these people to sit on our Supreme Court,” said Deandre Totten, a University of New Mexico student. “We don’t need the justice system more right-wing than it already is, we don’t need more black and brown people sent to jail, we don’t need women’s rights rolled back...so we came out here to agitate and push back against Kavanaugh.”
