11 Greenpeace activists climbed Mount Rushmore with a banner saying "America Honors Leaders Not Politicians. Stop Global Warming.” The climb coincided with the take-over of four coal plants in Italy and was organized simultaneously to the G8 summit. All were arrested for trespassing, with a maximum penalty of 6 months imprisonment. These actions are the coming to fruition on a Greenpeace strategy of civil disobedience aiming to bring attention to global warming, and is based on a refusal to play the "political insiders' game". "Resistance and the Law" will follow the trial in the future.
