Do you know why they can't stand being questioned by us? Because there is **literally no way** to explain approving brand-new fossil fuel projects, in 2023, in the middle of a climate emergency, as forests burst into flames and the ocean cooks.
BREAKING: we just **majorly disrupted** a speech by Biden advisor Heather Boushey, demanding the dirty deal be shelved. The Mountain Valley Pipeline is equivalent to adding 19,000,000 cars to the road. This is unconscionable. This is a death sentence for us. It's time to rise.
As @ClimateDefiance blockades the White House Correspondents Dinner #WHCD, attendees are frantically trying to find a way in.
Our message: Joe Biden’s approval of new oil + gas projects is killing the planet. It’s time to #EndFossilFuels.
BREAKING: today we descended on the keynote address of White House Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi. Unable to answer for his record of destruction, he snuck out through the back exit.
NEW: Youth activists at @sunrisemvmt@ClimateDefiance and the youth vote-focused PAC @NextGenAmerica spoke with me about the political gerontocracy and what they want to see from candidates in 2024. https://t.co/RhWAHMPU8B
2050 is too late. Thank you @ClimateDefiance! Truth, love, and common sense leave us no option but to nonviolently press every leader and institution to do what must be done to prevent climate catastrophe. That starts with President Biden keeping his promise: no new drilling!
The most important thing is to come to DC to shut down the White House Correspondents Dinner. But we also need some funds to pull it off. Chip in to our peaceful uprising here: https://t.co/djbSWC5XSk
This was just the warmup. This weekend, we will converge on the White House Correspondents Dinner. And we will blockade it. Signup to join us: https://t.co/xmKsDsQTVl
BREAKING: we just shut down a keynote speech by Senior Advisor to the President John Podesta. Addressing a room full of millionaires in a 5-star hotel, Podesta said we can only get to net-zero by 2050. So we sang him off the stage.
Need cash for fossil fuels? Wanna fund climate disaster? Head on down to the @WorldBank! They’ve dished out nearly $15bn for fossil fuels since the Paris Climate Agreement.
Check out photos from tonight’s action:
A new report shows the @WorldBank has invested $14.8 BILLION in fossil fuels since the Paris Climate Agreement.
Put another way: They’re funding deadly floods and climate chaos. We deserve a Bank that invests in solutions and truly serves the people!
