In West Virginia, more than a dozen climate activists were arrested on Saturday as they nonviolently blockaded a coal-fired power plant that earned Democratic Senator Joe Manchin a half-million dollars last year. The protests targeted the Grant Town Coal Waste Power Plant, which receives deliveries from Enersystems, a company run by Senator Manchin’s son. Activists wanted to highlight the environmental harm caused by the Manchin family business and are calling on the senator to end his opposition to climate action in the Build Back Better Act.
