Climate activists and others were arrested Monday outside the president’s campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Del., over Biden administration policies on green energy and its handling Israel-Hamas war.
About 100 demonstrators blockaded the headquarters, and nearly two dozen people were arrested, according to protest group Sunrise Movement, which was behind the demonstration.
Wilmington police reportedly arrested 20 protesters, Sunrise said.
“Climate change is at our doorstep. Our homes are flooding, we’re breathing in toxic air … while the President expands oil and gas production to record levels,” Sunrise Campaign Director Kidus Girma said in a statement to The Post. “Then President Biden goes around and claims he’s a climate president and wants our votes? That’s bullshit.”
The protest at the Biden headquarter was a first for Sunrise after picketing 2024 GOP presidential campaign events across the country for months.
