Dozens of climate activists with the Sunrise Movement were arrested Thursday while protesting outside Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's Washington office. 

The activists demanded that Democrats "stop the climate crisis," replace Schumer and abolish the filibuster when the party takes over Congress in January, the Daily Wire reported. 

Hundreds of activists had traveled to Washington for the protest, and police arrested 54 of the protestors, the Sunrise Movement said. 

Approximately 150 activists visited the offices of Democratic senators to demand a new direction for the party.
