Climate Activists Blockade Energy Dept. Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

HeadlineDec 13, 2024

In Washington, D.C., police arrested 13 people on Thursday as they nonviolently blockaded the headquarters of the Department of Energy, demanding the Biden administration cancel authorizations for new liquefied natural gas export terminals. Activists say greenhouse gas emissions from the proposed exports would be equivalent to 1,000 coal-fired power plants.

Protester: “I’m a mom and a teacher, and I feel like I owe it to my daughter and my students. I’ve got to be able to sleep at night to go to work and teach them. And I can’t sleep at night if I don’t do everything in my power to stop what’s currently happening.”
