Twenty-seven children lost their lives during a devastating flash flood at a Texas summer camp — and now their families and climate activists are demanding justice right outside the White House.

In this emotional 1-minute story, we highlight the powerful protest that brought 27 small trunks, each symbolizing a lost child, to Washington D.C. The protesters say these deaths weren’t just a tragic accident — they were the result of years of defunding critical weather and emergency services like NOAA and FEMA.

Mothers, survivors, and climate leaders gathered with signs reading “No more kids lost to climate disasters” and “Flood warnings came late, budget cuts came fir$t”. They call on lawmakers to fully restore funding, hold polluters accountable, and prioritize climate safety over politics.

This short but powerful video captures the heartbreak, the outrage, and the call for real change.

00:00Twenty-seven children lost their lives in a Texas flood that should never have happened.
00:05And now their families are demanding justice in front of the White House.
00:08Each small trunk placed on the ellipse represents a child who died at summer camp when the Guadalupe
00:13River rose 26 feet in a flash.
00:16Mothers and activists sang through tears, we are gentle, angry people, because these
00:21kids didn't die from a natural disaster, but from failed choices by leaders who slashed
00:25critical emergency funding.
00:27Since Trump took office, more than 600 weather staff have been cut, vital warning systems
00:32shut down.
00:33And in a chilling twist, a new bill just cut $200 million more from climate programs, right
00:39before July 4th, when 135 people died.
00:43Protesters said, this is not leadership, it's cowardice and corruption.
00:48They held signs reading, we need warnings, not cuts, and no more kids lost to climate
00:53disasters.
00:54These parents want action, not thoughts and prayers.
00:57Funding restored, polluters held accountable, and real investment in safer futures.
01:02Because our kids should come home from camp with stories, not be remembered in silence.
