Speak Up: Climate activists found guilty in Wilmington protest

Posted

A New Castle County Justice of the Peace found 11 of 15 climate activists guilty of disorderly conduct and civil unrest related to a protest outside JPMorgan Chase Bank in Wilmington on June 28. For several hours, the group of senior citizens protested on the steps of the building and the sidewalk before some moved to the middle of North Walnut Street with rocking chairs, sitting in the flow of traffic to direct attention to the climate-change crisis and the bank’s funding of fossil fuels.

  • These seniors are awesome! Rocking chairs … fantastic! — Beth Gallagher
  • Doing God’s work. — Pete Schonert
  • Crazy climate cult members. — Robert Paul
