"Two climate change activists were arrested in front of Vice President Kamala Harris’ Brentwood home Monday, during the final moments of a Sunrise Movement protest in which more than a dozen activists urged the Democratic presidential nominee to stop promoting fossil fuel drilling and release a detailed climate plan.
The protest came a few weeks after Harris bragged during a debate against former President Trump that the U.S. has “increased domestic gas production to historic levels” under President Biden — and as three wildfires scorch Southern California. Together, the Airport, Bridge and Line fires have burned more than 117,000 acres.
To spotlight the damage wrought by the fossil fueled climate crisis — which scientists say is driving bigger, more extreme fires in California and across the Western U.S. — Sunrise Movement activists brought badly charred couch cushions from a house that burned in the Airport fire, in the Riverside County community of El Cariso Village."
