Lots of arrests here

Between September 13 and 20th, 189 people were arrested for taking bold action to demand that banks and financial institutions stop financing fossil fuels.

👉 On Sept 13th, activists blocked the street outside BlackRock’s HQ to demand an end to fossil fuel financing. 5 people were arrested.

👉 On Sept 14th, we blockaded every entrance into Citibank’s Global HQ, more than one thousand white-collar Citi workers were unable to get into work. 24 people were arrested.

👉 On Sept 15th, activists occupied the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) to protest the museum’s ties to Henry Kravis, founder and chairman of KKR, a private equity firm that has been buying up oil and gas companies. 16 people were arrested

👉 On Sept 17th, 75,000 people marched in New York to demand an end to fossil fuels.

👉 On Sept 18th, hundreds of people blockaded the Federal Reserve to demand that it regulates Wall Street and ends financing for fossil fuels. 108 were arrested.

👉 On Sept 19th, frontline leaders and allies blockaded the doors to Bank of America’s HQ. 21 were arrested.

This action was powerful and disruptive to our targets in a real and meaningful way. Now, we want to support the bold activists who were arrested throughout their legal process.

Can you make a donation to the legal fund to support the 189 people arrested for resisting Wall Street’s financing of fossil fuels?

Whether you’re able to chip in $5 or $50, every dollar helps―and every cent will go toward paying the lawyers and legal fees for the activists.
