A climate protester was arrested outside the Washington, DC, mayor’s office on Friday after unfurling a giant banner that read “No New Fossil Fuels.”
The protester climbed several feet high above the door of the mayor’s office and hung the sign over the entrance. She subsequently lit two orange smoke grenades, holding both in each hand while fellow protesters cheered her on.
The stunt was short-lived as the D.C. Fire Department used a ladder to bring the protester to ground level, where she was immediately arrested by police.
