Two climate activists spent Valentine’s Day dumping red powder on the case holding the U.S. Constitution at the National Archives in downtown Washington.
“We are determined to foment a rebellion,” said one protester, who called on President Joe Biden to “please declare a climate emergency,” according to a video that was posted online.
“We all deserve clean air, water, food and a livable climate,” said the other protester, wearing shorts and sandals.
