A group of activists, flanked by noteworthy Democrat politicians, protested outside of the White House on Monday, demanding the Biden administration adopt an infrastructure plan that prioritizes climate change and blocking every entrance to the White House as part of their demand for action.
Activists from the far-left Soros-funded group the Sunrise Movement marched to the White House on Monday to demand the Biden administration put climate change-related initiatives at the forefront, particularly in terms of the ongoing infrastructure negotiations.
"Right now, 500 young people are enroute to barricade all 10 entrances to the White House to demand you, Pres. Joe Biden, act on your elected mandate of climate justice & only pass an American Jobs Plan that includes necessarily ambitious solutions to the crisis" https://t.
The Progressive Caucus appeared to endorse the movement, praising activists for making it clear that lawmakers must "Go big, bold, and fast to fight the climate crisis."
The protest coincides with an already tense infrastructure debate, as far-left members of the Democrat caucus demand more than just an infrastructure deal.
House Republican Whip Steve Scalise blasted the far-left demands of his Democrat colleagues, including their desire to thrust climate change initiatives to the forefront of these measures.
Oh, the idea that they were going to try to use an infrastructure bill to bring forward more social programs and Green New Deal initiatives that would kill jobs and unionizing home health care workers, I think the public revolted against that kind of abuse of power, and it's one of the reasons that they haven't been able to bring forward their radical spending and taxing bill.
