Climate protesters arrested at Congressional Baseball Game
SUMMARY
Eight protesters from the activist group Climate Defiance disrupted the Congressional Baseball Game at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night, leading to their arrest by U.S. Capitol Police. The protesters, who ran onto the field wearing shirts stating "end fossil fuels," aimed to highlight their campaign against fossil fuel use. Climate Defiance criticized Congress for subsidizing fossil fuels while police arrested them. The protesters are facing federal charges for "Interference with a Member of the U.S. Capitol Police." The annual charity game features members of the U.S. House and Senate, both Democrats and Republicans.
