Activist Amber Morningstar Byars looks back at the White House as she sits in defiance on the White House sidewalk, the last protestor to be arrested.
Hundreds of Indigenous leaders, land and water protectors, and allies from across the continent march for a second day in Washington D.C. and get arrested sitting in front of the White House on Indigenous Peoples Day. The mobilization is being organized by Build Back Fossil Free, a coalition of hundreds of Indigenous, Black, environmental, climate justice, youth, and social justice organizations. People are taking part in mass civil disobedience at the White House to pressure President Biden to declare a climate emergency and stop all new fossil fuel projects.
