NEW: tonight Vice President Kamala Harris' speech was temporarily halted by activists demanding she Stop Line 3.
The @VP responded "we will not be distracted."
Distracted by what? Climate chaos? Poisoned Indigenous lands?
West Virginians do not play when it comes to telling their Senator to think about working families in his home state! #TimeToDeliver@Sen_JoeManchin our future, our climate and our communities depends on it

Here's a thread with some of my favorite press coverage from last week's #PeopleVsFossilFuels mobilization in DC!
First up, shout out to @esilverman11 of the @washingtonpost who was down at the protest for hours almost every day of the week.
