Extinction Rebellion protesters confront politicians at US Capitol

Climate crisis group members glue themselves to doorways to block members of Congress from attending evening vote

Protesters from the climate crisis group Extinction Rebellion have brought disruption to Capitol Hill in Washington, superglueing themselves to doorways to block politicians and staff.

Just after 6pm, six activists stood in doorways to a tunnel connecting the Cannon office building to the US Capitol in an attempt to prevent members of Congress attending an evening vote.
