On the day before Earth Day,climate protesters showed up at the Montgomery County Executive Office Building. People from Sunrise MOCO, Chesapeake Climate Action Network, 350MOCO, and Extinction Rebellion MOCO were there, calling out Erlich's ongoing efforts to delay climate action to death.

This statement was issued by organizers:

"County Executor Elrich has doubled down on his inaction, telling young people that doing what is necessary to save our futures, on the timeline we need to, is “just not possible.” We know it is — other counties across the country are doing it. Montgomery County government needs a wake-up call. We need radical climate action, and we need it now."
