A group of protesters were arrested in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s office on Capitol Hill Monday after demanding Democrats take action to address climate change.
The group of more than 100 climate change activists, began flooding into Pelosi’s office around 10 a.m., demanding to speak with the congresswoman. The protesters were also demanding Democrats address climate change and a green new deal as part of taking the majority in 2019.
