Activists say they will protest at the upcoming White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday to demand the end of fossil fuel extraction on public lands.
Climate activists protest outside the World Bank headquarters calling on the World Bank to stop financing fossil fuels during the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund Spring Meetings in Washington, Apr. 14, 2023.
The group is asking protesters to congregate at a Metro station near the Washington Hilton, the hotel where Biden is set to deliver remarks at the annual dinner featuring an audience of Washington's news media. The following day, at the National Gallery of Art, protesters from a group calling themselves "Declare Emergency" smeared black and red paint over the case and pedestal of Edgar Degas' "Little Dancer Aged Fourteen" sculpture.
"Washington Hilton respects all parties' rights to express their points of view in lawful and non-disruptive manners; however, we are simultaneously committed to protecting our Team Members' and guests' safety and security," a Hilton spokesperson said. "We will take all necessary steps, in cooperation with local law enforcement officials, to ensure such activities do not interfere with those entering and leaving the hotel.
"We know we don't have time to wait. If he wants to keep young people voting, he better stop extraction on federal lands," she added.
