As part of the Power Shift 2011 Conference, thousands joined the polluter protest at the White House, the U.S Chamber of Commerce, and at the headquarters of dirty energy industries.
Over 5,000 young climate leaders joined AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, Cherri Foytlin of Gulf Change, and 350.org co-founder Bill McKibben at a polluter protest in front of the White House this Monday. They demanded that the President and Congress stand up to Big Polluters, protect the Clean Air Act, and make corporate polluters like BP pay for their pollution.
