A group of climate protesters crashed a gala hosted by Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), causing chaos as they pushed activists off stage during the event. About 10-12 protesters from Climate Defiance interrupted Murkowski's speech at the Bryce Harlow Foundation’s awards ceremony, aiming to draw attention to climate issues. Video footage of the scuffle was shared on social media by the protest organizer, Climate Defiance. The disruption occurred as Murkowski was being honored with an award from Chevron's top lobbyist. Attendees tried to remove the protesters from the stage, halting Murkowski's speech temporarily.
