New York, September 6 (RHC)-- In New York City, 50 activists were arrested Thursday at the final action of the “Summer of Heat” series of protests at the Citibank headquarters. 
Faith leaders, scientists, climate and peace activists gathered again in a joint protest to demand Citibank stop funding fossil fuel projects and an end to the war on Gaza.

Maureen Stubblefield of the Climate Reality Leadership Corps, speaking to New York Police Department officers as she was being arrested said: “Citibank is the largest funder of new fossil exploration and extraction in the world.  That’s why we’re here.  We’re here for you and your children. We’re here for our world.”
