Hill staffers hold climate protest in Schumer’s office
"Congressional staffers this morning protested in the office of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to urge him to continue negotiating on a climate change bill.
Several aides posted about the sit-in on Twitter, including Aria Kovalovich, a professional staff member for the House Oversight and Reform Subcommittee on Environment, and Saul Levin, a policy adviser for Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.).
More than a dozen staffers held signs reading “Keep negotiating, Chuck” and “Climate policy now” while they sat peacefully in Schumer’s office around 11 a.m. today. One video showed them singing.
Six protesters — all House staffers — were arrested after refusing to leave Schumer’s office in the Hart Senate Office Building, according to the U.S. Capitol Police."
