Fox News
Activists targeted Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., as she ran in the Boston Marathon on Monday, urging her to support President Biden's $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill, also called the Build Back Better bill.
"We're here at the #Boston Marathon with @SunriseTempe and others from AZ asking @SenatorSinema to stop running from her constituents and start listening!" the Arizona Working Families Party tweeted. #StopRunningSinema & pass the full Build Back Better plan NOW!"
The protest came after activists from the Green New Deal Network, a coalition of 15 organizations, announced that they planned on "bird-dogging" Sinema during the marathon, according to The Boston Globe.
Last week, activists approached Sinema at the airport and on an airplane, urging her to support the Build Back Better bill. Other activists even followed her from a classroom at Arizona State University, where she teaches, to a bathroom there. They continued hounding her while she was in the stall and later when she emerged to wash her hands.
