14 ARRESTED AFTER CLIMATE ACTIVISTS SHUT DOWN ALL LANES OF TRAFFIC ON I-495 IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY

Declare Emergency supporter, Deborah Kushner, Staunton VA;

"The world’s lack of any significant action to prevent the ravages of the impending climate catastrophe is what has led me to take this action. ... disaster is here, and worsening by the day. I choose to not be complicit in the horrible death of this amazing planet. We are far into the 11th hour. It’s time for us all to rise. We have everything to lose."

Our action is an expression of our fear for our families, for the future of humanity and life on Earth. We are acting upon what thousands of scientists tell us, because our government is refusing to. Many other groups around the world are taking similar actions as a part of a global coalition called the A22 Network. Declare Emergency is currently centered around Washington DC and is inviting everyone from all disciplines, classes and beliefs, to join us on the road."
