Liza was working from home on a team meeting when she heard the news. “I’m alone in my apartment and this news drops and I almost passed out.”

“I was on a team meeting and I think I had the foresight to turn my camera off. It’s just amazing to me that we are all expected to keep doing our emails and our spreadsheets and for some of us it feels like this is the world ending,” she said.

Michelle Span said she wasn’t surprised by the news after the draft opinion leaked in early May.

Protests were held locally in Annapolis and Washington, D.C., as well as across the country.
