National Archives Climate Protesters Face Charges

Climate Change Protesters at National Archives Actually Charged With Crimes

On Valentine’s Day, we shared the audacious act of two climate activists who doused themselves and the Constitution display at the National Archives with red powder. At that time, skepticism prevailed regarding whether they would face consequences, given the leniency often shown to left-leaning individuals. However, to our surprise, they have indeed been charged.

The New York Times reported that Donald Zepeda, 35, from Maryland, and Jackson Green, 27, from Utah, were charged with destruction of government property for their stunt at the National Archives Museum. Their action, described as a spectacle intended to highlight climate change, involved pouring red powder over the display case in the building’s rotunda while being captured on video by Green’s supporters.

Critics question the effectiveness of such acts in persuading others to their cause, emphasizing that the intent seems more focused on destruction and intimidation. The significance of the Constitution, a symbol of sacrifice defended by millions of soldiers, underscores the gravity of their actions.

Some voices on social media have condemned the activists’ behavior, labeling it as indicative of a cult-like devotion to their cause rather than a genuine political movement. The motivations behind such acts remain puzzling to many, with some attributing them to a misplaced sense of activism or anger over climate change.

The legal repercussions for Zepeda and Green could be severe, with potential fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment for up to 10 years if convicted. As their case unfolds, we’ll continue to monitor developments and provide updates on their sentencing.
