Day 2

The Summer of Heat campaign is now in full swing – and this is unprecedented! It is the biggest and longest mobilization targeting Wall Street since Occupy. All summer long, we are disrupting the headquarters of the companies funding the destruction of life on our planet.

Today, 100+ activists in orca costumes shutdown Citibank, the world’s largest funder of coal, oil, and gas expansion. Why? Oil spills. Deafening noise from drilling rigs. Ocean acidification. The orcas are angry and they are rising up.

Support the organizers on the ground by sending Citi a tweet so they get the message: Stop financing fossil fuels and climate chaos.

Over the past few years, orcas have famously expressed their rage by sinking the yachts of the rich and powerful. Now, they are coming for Citibank. Citigroup is the worst funder of fossil fuel expansion from 2016 to 2023. Since the Paris Agreement went into effect in 2016, Citigroup has poured $396.3 billion into coal, oil, and gas.

The climate crisis is having huge impacts on the oceans. The ocean is 30% more acidic than it was before humans started burning fossil fuels on an industrial scale, imperiling countless species. Roughly half of all coral reefs―which surpass even rainforests for their biodiversity―have been destroyed since the 1950s, largely due to climate change.

The orcas are fed up and have decided to “blowhole” the whistle on Citi. Join the action by calling out Citi on social media now.

We demand that Citi stops financing the fossil fuels that are threatening all life on earth. Orcas included.

Take our tweet action to make sure Citi gets the message: End fossil fuel financing and protect our climate and our oceans immediately.

In solidarity,
– Austin Miller, Stop the Money Pipeline
