Abby Leedy, 20, accused the West Virginia senator of avoiding having a meeting with climate activists.
Leedy says in the video:"Joe Manchin, if the United States of America does not cut our emissions by at least 50 percent, I am going to grow up in a non-stop climate emergency.
"I've been on hunger strike for seven days Joe," she adds. Leedy is part of a group of five young activists who have been on a hunger strike outside the White House since October 20. They are striking until Biden keeps to his promises regarding addressing climate change. Leedy adds:"Joe Manchin, millions of people have been calling your office, we have been trying to reach you for months and months because you are standing against everything I need to have a livable future.
"I have dreams, young people here have dreams. And if the United States and if we don't pass—the United States doesn't pass—massive climate action this fall it is too late. This is one of our last chances."
