In the mass email, Greenberg said he organized a similar protest at the Congressional Baseball Game two years ago as "it is unconscionable that they play games as our prospects for a decent future slip out of our grip."
The protest did not materialize, however, after the U.S. Senate reached a deal on climate spending just ahead of the scheduled event, meeting the group’s interests.
So, Climate Defiance is organizing another attempt to disrupt the game.

"This March was the warmest on record – the tenth month in a row that was the hottest ever. Our planet is burning, and Congress is playing baseball," the environmental group said in the email.

In the email, the group clarifies, "We’ve never blocked roads (no shade to those who do). We’ve never targeted artwork. What we do, and what we do very well, is take the fight directly to the people in power. We make their lives MISERABLE until they relent."
"That is exactly what we will do at the Congressional Baseball Game."
