Dubbing themselves "climate rebels," activists demanding implementation of a radical Green New Deal-style plan vow to bring the nation's capital to a halt on Monday.
The Shut Down D.C. Strike Coalition declares on its website, "We will block key infrastructure to stop business-as-usual, bringing the whole city to a gridlocked standstill."
The group says the protest is inspired by a "climate strike and global week of action" Sept. 20-27 led by youth.
"They have been taking the lead so far, but now they are calling on all of us to take action," the coalition says of the youth. "In Washington, DC we will be answering the call and building on the momentum of the youth climate strikes in a major way."
Meanwhile, New York City announced 1.1 million public school students could skip classes without penalties to join the global youth climate strikes Friday, the New York Times reported.

Well if they shut down D.C. I may have to consider, that would actually be a good thing.
I always enjoy late summer water cannons.
The only Climate change are the traditional 4 Seasons.
Crush these people with Force. Whatever it takes.
I’m looking for a downside here...
They’ll make you a ton of Friends ,D’oh
“We will block key infrastructure to stop business-as-usual...”
Same ol same ol communist crap.
“No business as usual” day gas been going on for almost 40 years now.
It’s a commie thing from well before climate change.
I rather enjoyed the bureaucratic hissy fit when Trump announced he was relocating the USDA to the Kansas City area.
The only downside of shutting down DC is making it hard for visitors to get in to see the museums and national monuments.
I’d love to see pictures of the aftermath. I’m sure these civic heroes will be diligent in cleaning up after themselves.
So, you’re thinkin’ tanks? :-)
I assume they will ALL walk and ride their bicycles there and back right? Shouldn’t they all be DENIED a Drivers License for life to save the planet? should they be Banned from Public Transportation that uses fossil fuel to save the planet??
The fact that this number of people want to shut down D.C. for this stupid of a cause frightens me. If they are that gullible to hear nonsense, be taken up by it, and then try to force it on more sensible people, then they could be manipulated into taking up a more malicious cause. I guess they don’t realize that they have been conditioned by the libtard-controlled schools for years to hear some rousing speeches, subconsciously memorize and internalize catchy slogans, and never analyze the message any too closely before trying to pass it on, like some malevolent virus.

LOL! Yup. How many patagonia clothing items, Columbia, High Tec and hundreds of other items made using petro components will the saviors be wearing and how did they get to the protest site.
No, bio weapons. 8>)
Shutdown DC? Most of us will applaud!
NOW you’re talking. IF they really cared, they would all do like their heroes from the past and burn their drivers licenses like the anti VN assclowns used to do with their draft cards.
I wonder if there will be a market for temporary cow catchers for SUVs? /s
