Republican lawmakers are facing anger at town halls over their positions on climate change.
Activists are using the in-person events in lawmakers’ home districts during the Easter recess to push Republicans to fight global warming and resist President Trump’s environmental rollbacks.
It’s part of a nationwide effort, organized in part by left-wing groups, to call out Republicans on healthcare, Trump’s alleged ties to Russia and taxes, among other liberal causes, with climate change getting new attention.
Activists and organizers say they know they’re unlikely to change lawmakers’ minds significantly, but are reveling in the opportunity to put them on the spot in front of angry voters.Constituents are frequently asking their lawmakers whether they believe in climate change, or support certain policies — and loudly jeering answers they don’t like.
