Whoopi Goldberg, John Legend, Lena Dunham and other celebrities are joining forces to protest Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Thursday.
Organizers say the main #CANCELKAVANAUGH Protest will be held outside the E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse a few blocks from the U.S. Capitol on Oct. 4 at 12:30 EDT.
"We anticipate a vote on the Senate floor to confirm Brett Kavanaugh as early as Friday," the group's organizer, Party Majority PAC, wrote on the event's website. "It is critical we make our voices heard on the ground in Washington on Thursday."
The website continues: "If there was ever a moment when the voice of the people can come together in concert to change the fate of our nation, this is it. Arm in arm, organized and ready, every child, woman, and man, must take to the streets to protest this nomination."
Other musicians, actors and activists scheduled to participate include Erykah Badu, Maggie Gyllenhaal and husband Peter Sarsgaard, Norman Lear and Michael Stipe, among others. Don't look for them all to be in D.C., though. According to the site, "We will not all be in DC but ask you to walk out wherever you are."
Organizers urge participants to join the demonstration in Washington or locally, and also call on people to phone key senators, such as Maine Sen. Susan Collins and Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake.
