EAST HAMPTON, NEW YORK: Abigail Disney was one among 14 climate activists who were reportedly detained last week for jamming an airport that only deals with private and charter flights. The protestors made a chain by joining their hands using PVC pipes and duct tape. It has been said that the granddaughter of Disney co-founder Roy O Disney was protesting against the usage of private jets by rich people.

Activists from New York Communities for Change, Planet Over Profit, and Sunrise Movement NYC also demonstrated alongside her at East Hampton Airport in Wainscott, New York. In a statement via , the 63-year-old social activist shared, “As a person who has been privileged enough to use private jets, I know it’s hard to give up a luxury that is special. But I also know that the time has passed for spewing greenhouse gasses like this merely for our personal comfort.”

She continued, “The events of the past week alone, with Earth’s average temperature hitting an all-time high, drought and fatal heat waves across the country, floods in Vermont and New York, and ocean temperatures around Florida well over 90 degrees, should remove all doubt once and for all,” before adding, “The wealthiest 1% uses as much greenhouse gas as the entire bottom 50%. It is time for real change and this is the most obvious place to start.”

A perspective you don’t often get:

Climate activists and Abigail Disney took over the East Hampton airport today in a protest over private jets and taxing the rich.

This is what it took for the Hamptons police to break through the pipes that activists locked themselves to.

Disney was reportedly arrested on Friday, July 14, and was asked to give her fingerprints. Her mugshot was also taken. On Twitter, she posted, “At 63 I still had not popped my fingerprint/mug shot cherry so I did this. Because the last thing this planet needs is billionaires spewing greenhouse gases to get to their palatial beach homes. Just so wrong.”
