Capitol Climate Action Activists march to the Capitol Power Plant in Washington. More than 2,500 former coal miners, ministers, mothers, students, and climate activists, representing over 40 states from Arizona to Appalachia, successfully blocked all five entrances to the Capitol Power Plant for nearly four hours, forming the largest display of civil disobedience on the climate crisis in U.S. history.
