About three dozen young activists staged a protest Friday morning in the office of Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone of New Jersey, the likely incoming chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, demanding stronger action to combat climate change.

The Sunrise Movement rallied in Pallone’s Washington, D.C., office and engaged in a brief conversation with the congressman after conducting a similar sit-in Tuesday in the office of Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California, the expected next House speaker.
