Actress Piper Perabo announced she was arrested while protesting during Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing on Tuesday.

The former “Covert Affairs” star tweeted:

I was just arrested for civil disobedience in the Kavanaugh hearings.



Many citizens before me have fought for the equal rights of women. I can’t be silent when someone is nominated to the Supreme Court who would take our equal rights away.#StopKavanaghpic.twitter.com/f3SG7gmVam — Piper Perabo (@PiperPerabo) September 4, 2018

The “Coyote Ugly” actress was one of several people arrested during the often-contentious confirmation hearing. The Capitol Police said 22 protesters were arrested on Tuesday and charged with disorderly conduct.

It’s not the first time Perabo has joined political activists.

Last September, Perabo said she was participating in a protest outside of Trump Tower in New York in support of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
