Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried and Senate Minority Leader Lauren Book were among 11 people who were arrested at Tallahassee City Hall Monday after protesting the day’s earlier decision by the state Senate to pass a six-week abortion ban. The party confirmed in a social media post that the pair had been arrested “for peacefully protesting an effective ban on abortions in Florida.” Photo and video captured from the scene showed the pair being confronted by police and handcuffed as onlookers shouted “shame” at cops. Earlier in the day at the Senate gallery during discussions about the bill, Book pleaded with women “please don't take matters in your own hands–no back alley abortions” as the bill–which outlaws abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, before most women even know they’re pregnant–was passed. The bill now needs to pass the House before being signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. In a statement, the Tallahassee Police Department said it had been working with protest organizers for a week and were notified last week that they were only allowed to protest during normal work hours “due to the size of the crowd they were expecting and their desire for overnight camping.” Cops said they gave them multiple warnings and that “protestors acknowledged they understood that anyone refusing to leave the premises at sundown would be subject to arrest.” While most protesters dispersed, they said, 11 remained, including Friend and Book, and were subsequently arrested for trespass after a warning. Late Monday night, Fried posted: “I’m out. And not ever backing down. Just fucking vote @FlaDems!!!”
