Twenty-seven trunks symbolise child flood victims: ‘They died as a result of choices – terrible and deadly choices’
Twenty-seven blue, pink and purple trunks, adorned with yellow roses and other flowers, were placed within view of the White House on Monday – each representing a child who perished when Camp Mystic in Texas was overwhelmed by a devastating flood.
“We are gentle, angry people and we are singing for our lives,” sang a group of activists, including mothers from Texas, as they protested against the deadly consequences of government cuts and Donald Trump’s inaction on the climate crisis.
