This is post 3 of 3; her first post is here; second is here. ~~~~~ On October 6th, 2018 I was arrested on the steps of the Capitol. I was protesting the imminent confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. When people found out, they asked what being arrested is like.

This is her story of and reflections on her experiences related to the Kavanaugh hearing and accompanying protests. This is post 1 of 3. ~~~~~ SEPTEMBER 27th I went to a protest.

Junia: Two Programs, One Home

My name is Ahna, and I live in one of the D. C. houses: Junia. It is located in the Petworth neighborhood and it is called home by three Lutheran Volunteers and three Loretto Volunteers. For those of you who don’t know, the Loretto Volunteer Corps is an Catholic volunteer organization. They are a group of spunky feminists who focus on spirituality, sustainability, and social justice. This is the first year where the two programs have come together to share a house, and I feel remarkably lucky to be a part of it. There is no way I can capture everything that has happened forRead More →
