Climate activists are also at the convention this week to demand Democrats do more to address the climate catastrophe and divest from fossil fuels. On Wednesday, activists disrupted an event by Punchbowl News on the sidelines of the DNC, that was sponsored by ExxonMobil. This is California DNC member RL Miller.
RL Miller: “Yes, I’m a Democratic Committee — National Committee member. I am here because Exxon lied, and people died.”
Protesters: “Exxon lies, people die! Exxon lies, people die! Exxon lies, people die! Exxon lies, people die!”
We’ll have more on the climate crisis and climate activism at the DNC in hour two of our live broadcast.
