Police officers “responded to numerous incidents of unlawful demonstration activities within the Senate Office Buildings today that were associated with the first day of hearings held by the Senate Judiciary Committee.”

The 41-year-old actress divulged news of her arrest through Twitter, writing that she was proud to stand with those she was arrested with in their fight for equality. She adds that she “can’t be silent” in wake of Kavanaugh’s impending confirmation, fearing he would be a determent to equal rights.
