Three-day Capitol climate sit-in ends with HEAT Act push

The three-day sit-in at the U.S. Capitol, organized by climate activists from Climate Defiance, concluded with a push for the HEAT Act, which aims to ensure that the federal government provides cooling assistance to low-income households during extreme heat events. The protest, which began on Monday, saw activists occupying the Capitol rotunda, leading to over 100 arrests. The activists' demands were centered around addressing the disproportionate impact of climate change on marginalized communities, particularly in terms of heat-related health risks. The HEAT Act, if passed, would mandate the Department of Health and Human Services to declare heat emergencies and provide necessary cooling resources. The sit-in was part of a broader call for climate justice, highlighting the urgent need for legislative action to protect vulnerable populations from the escalating effects of climate change.
