New York, July 10 (RHC)-- In New York City, police arrested 46 elder climate campaigners as they staged a nonviolent civil disobedience protest near Citigroup’s Manhattan headquarters.
Among those arrested was Bill McKibben, founder of the climate justice group 350.org.
Organizers with the Summer of Heat activist network are demanding Citi end its investments in fossil fuel expansion. A recent report found Citi provided more than $200 billion in financing for new fossil fuel projects since the Paris Climate Agreement was signed in 2015.
