Outside an annual gala held by the conservative Federalist Society in which Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh spoke,www.theglobeandmail news news video video thousands-protest-ontario's-new-sex-education-curriculum protesters erected a huge screen that played a video of Christine Blasey Ford's testimony during Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing.
In 2018, Blasey Ford, a California psychology professor, accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in 1982. Kavanaugh denied the allegations, and went on to get confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice.
Kavanaugh's appearance at the Federalist Society marked his first major public speech since his controversial confirmation last year, according to Time.
Ford's testimony played on repeat while guests waited to enter the event, according to tweets and videos from HuffPost reporter Jennifer Bendery.

The protests were organized by Demand Justice, a progressive group that aims to "restore ideological balance" of the Supreme Court, according to their website.
"You can claim to respect survivors of sexual assault or you can pay for a celebration of Brett Kavanaugh, but you can’t do both. Any organization that doesn’t want to be complicit in normalizing Kavanaugh should withdraw its support from The Federalist Society and pledge not to give in the future," Katie O'Connor, Demand Justice's Senior Counsel, said in a statement to Mashable. "Kavanaugh is not the hero of this story. We still believe Christine Blasey Ford, and we won’t let him forget that. Putting on a new robe can’t be allowed to erase credible accusations of sexual assault."
