Boomers doing civil disobedience for the climate

FYI, I learned at the March for Our Grandchildren that there is a group called Fifty Over Fifty referring to those 50+ years old who are or wish to participate in non-violent civil disobedience on climate-related issues, and are more able to take arrests for various reasons. I would say that the vast majority of those arrested in connection with 350.org actions have been in this category.

See http://fiftyoverfifty.org/the-movement/, boomers prepared to risk arrest for climate action.
