In Washington, DC, Kroegeor (Jackson) Green is scheduled for sentencing on November 12, 2024, in connection with his actions aimed at raising awareness about climate issues. Green is being charged with felony destruction of government property after he painted a message on a museum wall and sprinkled red powder on a protective case containing the US Constitution during climate activism events. His actions were meant to highlight the ongoing and worsening environmental crises largely ignored by elected officials, emphasizing the disproportionate impact on marginalized communities. Judge Amy Berman Jackson, noted for her skepticism regarding the urgency of climate change, is expected to impose a strict sentence, reflecting society's tension between activist efforts and legal repercussions.
