Climate Activists Jailed for Red Powder Attack on US Constitution

Two climate activists, Donald Zepeda and Jackson Green, were sentenced to prison for defacing a display case containing the U.S. Constitution at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Zepeda received a two-year sentence, while Green received 18 months, both followed by two years of supervised release. They are also required to pay over $58,000 in damages. The incident, which did not harm the Constitution itself, led to increased security at the museum. The judge criticized their actions as ineffective and unrelated to climate issues.
