If Biden wants to win, they say, he must end US support for Israel’s war on Gaza and declare a climate emergency.
Trump, are you for ordinary people or are you for oil millionaires? Why are you letting my generation’s future burn? Why aren’t you fighting for people like me? You are taking millions and millions from the fossil fuel industry,” 17-year-old Sunrise Movement activist Adah Crandall shouted at former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Laconia, New Hampshire, Monday night. Six other protesters soon followed, disrupting Trump one by one, with some unfurling yellow banners reading, “Oil Sellout” before police escorted them out of the resort where the event was being hosted.
The night before, Sunrise activists disrupted former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley during a campaign event at a Courtyard Hotel ballroom in Nashua, New Hampshire. “My community is suffering through asthma and cancer from the fossil fuel money that you are taking,” one activist shouted. “How can you look at me in the eye? How can you look at my generation in the eyes?”
Haley offered only broad platitudes about the environment before pivoting to her support for a more robust exploitation of the country’s fossil fuels. All told, Marriott security removed six protesters from the Nashua ballroom, some with yellow banners reading, “Haley: Climate Criminal.”
