Climate Activists Dump Red Powder on Constitution Case at National Archives
• Two climate change protesters dumped red powder on the case holding the U.S. Constitution in the National Archives rotunda, leading to the rotunda's closure.
• The powder did not damage the Constitution due to the protective casing, but National Archives conservators are evaluating rotunda damage.
• The protesters, Donald Zepeda, 35, and Jackson Green, 27 from Washington D.C., were detained and are facing prosecution.
• The climate activism group Declare Emergency confirmed two of its members were taken into custody.
• Recently climate activists have protested by smearing cake on the Mona Lisa and throwing soup on Van Gogh's Sunflowers painting.
