   Two climate change activists who damaged the U.S. Constitution were   
   sentenced Monday to more than a year in prison Monday for dumping red   
   powder over the historic document’s protective casing.   
      
   Federal prosecutors said Donald Zepeda, 35, of Maryland, and Jackson   
   Green, 27, of Utah, will spend 24 months and 18 months behind bars,   
   respectively, for the February attack at the National Archives in the   
   District.   
      
   Both also must stay out of the District and all museums nationwide as   
   part of the August plea hearings, according to prosecutors. Green   
   additionally pleaded guilty to defacement of a memorial to Black Civil   
   War soldiers at the National Gallery of Art.   
      
   Zepeda and Green are members of Declare Emergency, a group of activists   
   that seeks to bring attention to environmental issues by committing   
   crimes in the District.   
      
   Prosecutors said Zepeda was part of a group of climate activists who   
   blocked traffic in the District in April 2023 and also participated in   
   an attack on Edgar Degas’ “Little Dancer Aged Fourteen” at the National   
   Gallery of Art that same month.   
      
   Green has been in custody since August because, prosecutors said, he   
   violated his release agreements when spotted wandering around national   
   monuments.
