Environmental activists super glue themselves to buildings on Capitol Hill
|
[Business Insider] Environmental activists blocked congressional staff and lawmakers after super gluing themselves to doors and each other in a building on Capitol Hill on Tuesday afternoon.
The Washington, DC, chapter of Extinction Rebellion glued their hands to one another and to door knobs, forming chains around entryways and exits at the basement in a building for House lawmakers.
The protesters hung signs around themselves imitating emergency notices and calling for the passage of the Green New Deal.
"DECLARE CLIMATE EMERGENCY," one sign said.
"We're sorry. Due to the CLIMATE EMERGENCY Congress is shut down until sufficient action is taken to address the crisis," another sign said.
Republican Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana posted a video of his staff navigating through the hallways of the Capitol: "Supergluing yourself to a door is a very dumb way to protest," the video's caption said.
