Youth Climate Activists Stage Sit-In at House Speaker Pelosi's Office
---------------------------------------------------------------------

On Capitol Hill, 50 youth climate activists with the Sunrise Movement
occupied the offices of California Senator Dianne Feinstein and House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday, demanding meaningful action on
climate change. Organizer Claire Tacherra-Morrison said in a statement,
"Democratic leadership is failing to treat this like the emergency that
it is. Business-as-usual is killing us."
