"Charges Filed in Red Powder Attack on US Constitution Display"

TL;DR Summary
Two climate change activists, Donald Zepeda and Jackson Green, were charged with destruction of government property after pouring red powder over the display case containing the U.S. Constitution at the National Archives Museum in Washington. The activists intended to draw attention to climate change with the stunt, which also involved pouring red powder over themselves. The Constitution was not damaged, but the cleanup cost more than $50,000, and the rotunda was temporarily closed.
