Organized by the Gender Liberation Movement, protesters including Chelsea Manning and Raquel Willis occupied a womens restroom on Capitol Hill with signs that said Stop Pissing on Our Rights and Flush Bathroom Bigotry.The protest follows Rep. Nancy Maces (R-S.C.) proposed resolution from two weeks ago, which seeks to bar transgender individuals from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity.

Days later, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson implemented a new policy to enforce the ban.As of this report, at least 15 protesters were arrested.
