BREAKING: Our blockade is working!!!

We just turned away a government SUV from entering the White House Correspondents Dinner hotel in DC.

Business as usual + Biden’s approval of massive new oil + gas projects is killing the planet. The solution is simple — #EndFossilFuels.

We are a brand-new, youth-run collective. We use disruptive, nonviolent direct action to resist fossil fuels. We stand for racial, economic and environmental justice.

We just BLOCKADED the White House Correspondents Dinner.

(1/8)
We almost completely shut down the main entrance. We also shut down the loading dock area where the President’s motorcade was expected to enter. VIPs like John Legend and Chrissy Teigen had to wade through our blockade. (2/8)
Justin Pearson and Justin Jones, who became overnight sensations after being wrongly expelled from the Tennessee legislature, stood with us and delivered rousing speeches. (3/8)

Update: we are in today's San Francisco Chronicle, alongside our allies at @sunrisemvmt and @NextGenAmerica.

"At least one group has been loudly calling out Biden and his appointees for those recent actions. Climate Defiance, a new youth-led climate protest group, has prevented several Biden environmental officials from giving speeches by holding sit-ins or singing over them."
Climate Defiance "plans to blockade the White House correspondents’ dinner on Saturday."

A top woman in the Biden administration just attempted to commit ecocide. It's time to name names. It's time to show receipts. (1/8) 🧵
This week the Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm called on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to approve the Mountain Valley Pipeline. (2/8)
The Mountain Valley Pipeline would go through 429 rivers, streams, creeks and wetlands.

It would emit a shocking 90,000,000 tons of greenhouse gas pollution. Every single year. That' the equivalent of 23 coal-fired power plants. (3/8)

BREAKING: today we descended on the keynote address of White House Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi. Unable to answer for his record of destruction, he snuck out through the back exit.
Can't stop, won't stop, baby. We're coming back bigger and stronger this weekend to BLOCKADE the White House Correspondents Dinner. Signup to join us at climatedefiance.org
The most important this is to come to DC this weekend to throw down with us at the Correspondents Dinner. But we also need some funding for this peaceful rebellion. Chip in here: chuffed.org/project/wvqbk0…

BREAKING: we just shut down a keynote speech by Senior Advisor to the President John Podesta. Addressing a room full of millionaires in a 5-star hotel, Podesta said we can only get to net-zero by 2050. So we sang him off the stage.
This was just the warmup. This weekend, we will converge on the White House Correspondents Dinner. And we will blockade it. Signup to join us: climatedefiance.org
The most important thing is to come to DC to shut down the White House Correspondents Dinner. But we also need some funds to pull it off. Chip in to our peaceful uprising here: chuffed.org/project/wvqbk0…

It was hard to celebrate Earth Day this year (1/12) 🧵
Since last Earth Day, the Great Barrier Reef suffered its sixth mass bleaching event. 91% of reefs in the ecosystem were bleached. This isn't just about the scuba diving. This is about the quarter of marine life that depends on coral. (2/12)
Antarctic ice is at its lowest level on record. It is 130,000 square kilometers below its previous record low. The difference is the size of New York State. (3/12)
