Climate change activists have announced plans to protest at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday where President Joe Biden is set to speak.
Climate Defiance organizers told ABC News that they plan to blockade the area near the dinner on Saturday night is an effort to hold Biden, who announced his reelection bid on Tuesday, accountable for what they say was his 2020 campaign promise to end fossil fuel extraction on public lands.
"Number one, no more subsidies for fossil fuel industry. No more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling, including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period, ends," Biden said at a March 2020 Democratic presidential debate.
The group is asking protesters to congregate at a Metro station near the Washington Hilton, the hotel where Biden is set to deliver remarks at the annual dinner featuring an audience of Washington's news media.
The youth-led group of activists has protested in Washington, D.C., for most of the week leading up to Saturday's event.
On Tuesday, Climate Defiance interrupted a speech given by John Podesta, who has been senior advisor to the president for clean energy innovation and implementation since September 2022. On Wednesday, Declare Emergency activists blocked a section of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, causing heavy traffic jams around the nation's capital.
The following day, at the National Gallery of Art, protesters from a group calling themselves "Declare Emergency" smeared black and red paint over the case and pedestal of Edgar Degas' "Little Dancer Aged Fourteen" sculpture.

“Climate change activists ...”
SPJNK.
Delusional activists should explain their delusion and seek help
I would love to see Rolling Thunder roll through DC that night.
Will they glue their hands to the comedian?
Send these activists to AK for a couple of years and see if they change their minds.
The mass media propagandists created these “climate” NPCs—chickens coming home to roost.
The Greeniacs will probably fly there in private jets and then ride limos to the demonstration sites.
Kabuki theater.
O’Biden has already declared his intention to do exactly what they’re “demanding” he do.
These shrill “protests,” which disingenuously suggest he isnt doing anything, are in fact orchestrated by the Biden administration & their media shills, to convince their stupid base that this is what “the people” want & that O’Biden is listening to “the people.”
They will be invited in by Biden to do their disruption and destruction.
O’Biden is listening to “the people“
You’ve seen this movie before, too.
Gotta go now. I have got to figure my Carbon Intensity score.
What are the odds of Brandon still being alive in 7.74 years?
Even if he is still alive in 7.74 years he will be technically brain dead as early as next week.
Where is Saint Greta the retarded PhD nowadays?
Greta Thunberg doesn’t want you to talk about her anymore
That was an interesting article. It was all about her before and she lost all those massive crowds and attention. Now she’s floundering. I don’t feel sorry for her.
How dare she.
