Young environmentalists bash 'out of touch' Biden campaign as concern over Trump 2024 victory grows
Young climate activists are criticizing President Biden's re-election campaign ahead of the 2024 election, raising concerns about a victory for former President Trump.
"I’m worried about getting climate activists back," president of Friends of the Earth Action, Erich Pica, told Politico.
Pica added that the Biden campaign needs to speak directly with activists who doubt the candidate's dedication to environmental issues.
"I think that is something that the campaign itself has to answer," he said.
A spokesperson for another climate change activist group, Sunrise, told Politico that young voters have much higher demands for green policy than in previous years.
"Young people have set the bar for what it’s going to take to turn on our generation and mobilize young people to go out to the polls at the level that we did in 2020," Sunrise spokesperson Stevie O’Hanlon said. "And Joe Biden’s campaign seems to be out of touch with how high that bar is."
Sunrise is the same group that held a recent protest during which 21 members of the Sunrise Movement were arrested in a protest in Wilmington, Delaware. The young activists blocked the entrance to Biden's campaign headquarters and demanded an "end the era of fossil fuels."
The activists warned that, if Biden failed to take definitive action combating climate change, millions of young voters would stay home in November....

Biden is hemorrhaging voters. That is a good thing.
