We’re sorry we missed this yesterday, but it’s big news: the Sunrise Movement finished the last mile of its 40-day, 400-mile climate march from New Orleans to Houston, with the finish line being Sen. Ted Cruz’s front lawn. We didn’t even know the group was marching, so congratulations, we guess.
About 50 @sunrisemvmt protesters outside of Ted Cruz Houston home today demanding Biden stop negotiations with the GOP and pass @AOC civilian climate corps plan. A few are on the lawn as the crowd sings “Whose side are you on?”
About a dozen police and security watching. pic.twitter.com/Iq6M5uCcC2

So they stand on Cruz’s front lawn to demand that President Joe Biden stop negotiations with Republicans and pass Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s civilian climate corps plan? Why didn’t they march from New Orleans to Delaware and wake up old Sleepy Joe in person?
Protesters finished the last mile of a 40 day and 400 mile climate march from New Orleans in Houston today. They marched to raise awareness of climate disasters (hurricanes, pollution, TX freeze). pic.twitter.com/GtoVKz35KN

Their signs say that Cruz abandoned them during the Texas freeze, but how many are actually from Texas, we wonder.
Protesters are being arrested by Houston police now for trespassing. Police are slowly taking them one at a time pic.twitter.com/bfVmTR6cQj

Eight people total arrested, protesters have left and their march from New Orleans is over

Eight people arrested? You’ve got to pump those numbers up! Those are rookie numbers, Sunrise Movement!
Protesters or trespassers? Being on someone’s property uninvited is trespassing.

Protesting outside of someone's home conveys a threat of violence in their message and should not be tolerated in America.

Protestors from out of town and state should be arrested immediately in residential neighborhoods. When you come from out of town the purpose is to harass not get political support. Officials are elected locally not by out of state people. Disturbing neighbors is not right.

A shower would get them to disperse pretty quickly.
You went to the wrong house for demands and now you get arrested! How that working out?

wow wait until they learn who controls both houses of congress and the white house and still isn't doing a single thing.

"…protesters outside of Ted Cruz Houston home today demanding Biden stop negotiations with the GOP…" Maybe if they want Biden to stop doing something, they should go protest outside of his house.

Maybe if they want Biden to actually START something, they should go protest outside his house.

Why dont they get jobs?

50 unemployed losers.

They are holding signs that read " Good Jobs for All"
yet there they are. NOT WORKING🤔
In some areas restaurants are offering $15.00/HOUR but nobody wants to work.— DanielH (@uthinksotim) June 22, 2021
Send them to the work camps. A couple years hard labor, making gravel out of boulders should teach them a lesson about trespassing on people's property.

Yes they should all be sent to work under militarized labor like FDR’s civilian corps. pic.twitter.com/U5ZUEO4CcS

These people know that Texas had a long history of floods and freezing weather before Cruz took office, right?

The irony of protesting climate change while wearing Chinese made shoes and clothing and posting with Chinese made phones is completely lost on them, the vinyl sign was a nice touch

It’s guaranteed Biden will never hear about their climate march, let alone act on it.
