Climate change activists took to the streets of Washington, D.C., Monday morning to grind the gears of government to a halt with a “#ShutDownDC” strike at rush hour — but they may not have been quite as effective as initially hoped.
The rally was loosely affiliated with last weeks’ “Climate Strike” student marches and aimed to “shut down” the country’s capital, “disrupt the systems that created and perpetuate the climate crisis,” and block commuters from getting to their jobs by staging sit down protests and impromptu dance parties in key areas of the city.
