Climate Activists Stage Sit-In to Protest Sen. JD Vances Billionaire Fossil Fuel Funders
On Capitol Hill, police arrested eight climate activists with the youth-led Sunrise Movement Monday as they staged a sit-in protest outside the office of Ohio Republican Senator JD Vance. The group was highlighting the Republican vice-presidential nominee’s close ties to the fossil fuel industry. Some of the protesters spoke as they were led away in plastic handcuffs by Capitol Police.
