Climate Protest & Die-In At Citibank, New York, USA - 08 Jul 2024
Members of Third Act stage a die-in and mock graveyard at Citibank headquarters in Tribeca to protest Citi's funding of fossil fuels. A mock tombstone reads '52 YR OLD NEBRASKA FARMER FELLED BY HEATSTROKE IN CORNFIELD.' Climate activists held a rally with Bill McKibben, (not pictured) then a funeral procession to Citi where they participated in a non-violent act of civil disobedience blockading the building entrance, resulting in arrests. The Elders Rise Up action took place during a heat wave in NY and is part the Summer of Heat campaign against Wall Street's investment in fossil fuels.
