Los Angeles Police Department officers shoved Jodie Sweetin to the ground Saturday as she protested the Supreme Court overturning its landmark 1973 decision Roe v. Wade.
Photojournalist Michael Ade shared a video on Instagram of the “Full House” alum approaching the cops when one of the men pushed her off the side of a road in LA and another threw her down on the concrete.
Sweetin, 40, immediately stood back up, put her baseball cap back on and continued screaming, “No justice, no peace” with the rest of the crowd.
“What the f–k is wrong with you guys?” one fellow protester screamed as others rushed to help the actress get off the ground.
Ade also posted a photo of Sweetin passionately talking into a bullhorn while holding up her middle finger at the same rally.
“Thank you for posting. Love everyone out there in the streets fighting for what’s right… ❤️❤️ #WeKeepUsSafe,” Sweetin commented on The Progressivists’ account, which reposted the original video.
The former “Fuller House” star, who has been active on social media to rally against last Friday’s controversial ruling, told Variety that she was “extremely proud” of those who have been protesting.
“I’m extremely proud of the hundreds of people who showed up yesterday to exercise their First Amendment rights and take immediate action to peacefully protest the giant injustices that have been delivered from our Supreme Court,” she said in a statement.
“Our activism will continue until our voices are heard and action is taken. This will not deter us, we will continue fighting for our rights. We are not free until ALL of us are free.”
Sweetin’s message comes after dozens of other celebrities also condemned the Supreme Court’s decision.
“I’m absolutely terrified that this is where we are – that after so many decades of people fighting for women’s rights to their own bodies, today’s decision has stripped us of that,” Taylor Swift tweeted Friday.
“This is devastating news for families – Men and women – who believe the government should not decide when and with whom they become parents. This is not the end of this fight for human rights,” Elizabeth Banks tweeted.
“F–kin bulls–t!! This decision is about more than abortion, it’s about who has power over you, who has authority to make decisions for you, and who is going to control how your future turns out,” Alicia Keys wrote.
Sweetin’s rep didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for additional comment.
