In San Francisco, 300 climate activists from the Sunrise Movement demonstrated at the California office of congressmember and likely incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, one day after over 1,000 activists flooded Capitol Hill, calling for Congress to form a Green New Deal Select Committee.

Zoë Cina-Sklar: “We’re seeing the impacts of climate change. Just a few weeks ago, the Camp Fires were making it hard to breathe in here and took over 85 lives. And we need to be treating climate change like a crisis, because it is a crisis. And as young people, we have a lot at stake in this.”

The number of congressmembers supporting the Green New Deal proposed by incoming New York Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has jumped to 35—up from 22—since the start of organizing actions this week.
