Five young climate activists are on their seventh day of a hunger strike outside the White House, to demand government action on climate to match the severity of the crisis.
Kidus Girma, 26, a climate activist and organizer, is one of the five. He told CNN a doctor who has been monitoring the strikers sent him to the emergency room Saturday, for nausea, dizziness and blurred vision. Girma said physicians monitored him overnight, then he returned to the strike. He and his fellow strikers, who have been protesting in Lafayette Square since October 20, are now using wheelchairs to keep them steady.
This guy, climate change? 😂😂😂 This guy is the poster boy for keeping coal mines and power plants open. His main agenda is keeping the EPA at bay from the mines. He kicks puppies and spits at babies.
Bet none of them work. Anything for attention. It’s the chic thing to do I guess.
Stop feeding China, that's certainly helps.
I hope you don’t die. They can’t pass a bill that already has support.
Sadly there's many heartless people in Washington to go in a hungry strike. Instead it is much better if they fast in he name of Jesus while praying and strike if needed. A social media strike toward those involved in causing harm might be better
Please don't starve yourself to get attention. You're only hurting yourselves. Government is supposed to work FOR the People. They're supposed to be listening TO YOU. It's their job. Literally-their job is working FOR YOU.
Republicans will walk over your body. They don't care that children are dying from covid or gun fire. And yet they push more guns and no masks. Anything to hurt kids. They wont care about you. Democrats are trying 🙄 there are those whose money rolls in off climate destroyers.
they should get a engineering degree before protesting..unfortunately clueless
I'm sure they'll eat soon enough lol
Awesome. Can I have their slice of cake?
The labor of the masses is always harsh, and they often rely on alcohol, drugs and sex. The government understands this reality, but they are rushing to tax revenues. I mention the US government up to the former Trump administration. From now on…? Amen
How are we’ve done more When we continue to support oil corporations. We’re leasing & selling valuable public lands for more gas & oil productions. He only believed in one energy reliance. We need more options to help our environment.
Great passion for such a worthy cause. Bravo!
