A pro-choice protester shut down traffic on the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge in Southeast D.C. Friday after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.
The protester scaled one of the bridge’s arches and set off a green flare, and he brought a green banner with him.
A Twitter user using the name Guido Reichstadter tweeted: “Hey I’m at the top of the Frederick Douglass bridge in Washington DC right now & want to know why YOU aren’t in the streets nonviolently shutting down the gov day after day after day till Congress protects abortion rights?
