Native American Climate Activists And Allies Arrested At US Capitol

Capitol Police officer R. Schauf warns protesters that they will be arrested if they do not leave the street. Native American climate activists and allies participated in a youth-led civil disobedience action at the US Capitol against the continued use of fossil fuels, on the fifth and final day of a week of action hosted by People vs. Fossil Fuels. Protesters have two major demands of the Biden Administration; cease approvals of projects for fossil fuel infrastructure and lead a renewable energy transformation.
