Native American Climate Activists And Allies Arrested At US Capitol

A protester is arrested at the US Capitol during a youth-led civil disobedience action by indigenous American and allies. The protest against the continued use of fossil fuels takes place 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.
