A small band of climate protection advocates made a very personal appeal to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer outside his Brooklyn residence on Sunday morning.
Members of Sunrise Kids NYC flaunted the name of Schumer’s grandson, Noah, during their protest as part of their fictional story depicting what they believe will be the young boy’s life fate if climate change is not addressed. This controversial attempt of garnering Schumer’s attention comes as the final round of negotiations on the Build Back Better agenda are ongoing, which protesters fear will include cuts to climate provisions.
