Activists showed up at White House chief of staff Ron Klain’s Maryland home Saturday, demanding immediate action on climate change.

Climate activist groups tweeted about their appearance on Saturday, demanding the White House declare a national emergency on climate.

“We just went to [White House chief of staff] Ron Klain’s house in Chevy Chase to tell him the climate crisis is a four alarm fire and asked him to deliver a card from our kids to [the president.] The police REFUSED to deliver our card but we know Klain heard us. Declare a climate emergency NOW!,” said a tweet by Climate Families NYC.
