Climate activists arrested for protesting against Citigroup
Dozens of activists were arrested in New York City as part of a nonviolent campaign called the Summer of Heat.
It targets Citigroup’s role in fueling climate breakdown.
Blocking entrances to the corporation’s headquarters, protesters demanded an end to the bank’s financing of fossil fuel expansion.
Despite police arrests, they persisted, emphasizing the urgency for banks like Citigroup to cease funding projects contributing to climate chaos.
Supporters included the Union of Concerned Scientists, which urged Citigroup’s CEO to halt funding for new fossil fuel projects.
They emphasize the financial industry’s responsibility in mitigating climate risks.
A series of planned nonviolent actions under the Summer of Heat initiative advocates for a future free from fossil fuels.
