Meet the Climbing Kids: 8- & 11-Year-Old Siblings Who Rappel from Bridge Demanding Climate Action
by mail@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#4WA1G)
As hundreds of thousands marched to the main stage during Friday's climate march in Madrid, two young children - a brother and sister aged 8 and 11 - staged an act of civil disobedience from a bridge overlooking the protest. While demonstrators marched beneath them, the two children rappelled from an overpass, dangling from ropes in mid-air to hang a banner calling for climate action. Democracy Now! briefly spoke to them after their action.
