Today we returned to the White House for the third day of the People vs. Fossil Fuels mobilization and, for the first time this week, I was arrested (briefly) under a giant banner that read “Biden: Our Communities Can’t Wait.” Today’s action, like all our actions this week, were led by indigenous leaders (mostly from …
