The groups called to “FREC FERC” in reference to the Commission moving towards renewable energy and away from carbon-based polluting fuels. After their morning rally and protest at FERC, climate activists staged an afternoon silent funeral cortége and die-in at the EPA headquarters to mourn the death of the agency under Zeldin’s leadership. Before leaving on the march to the EPA headquarters, one speaker reflected on the EPA’s founding under Richard Nixon to protect the air, the water and the land for all Americans. Through Zeldin’s actions at EPA, “he has threatened the lives of everyone in this country and around the world” was how the speaker addressed the crowd of climate activists. Or he must be removed.”With that, the group began its march for a die-in to mourn the death of the EPA.
