get involved
Wall Street is bankrolling the coal, oil and gas companies burning our planet. But we're going to stop them.
During the Summer of Heat, we're taking joyful, relentless nonviolent direct action to end fossil fuel financing.
From the civil rights movement to ACT UP’s fight to save millions of lives during the AIDS epidemic, civil disobedience has played a critical role in successful social movements.
We’re going hard all summer long. Week after week. Month after month. We’re fighting for our lives and we won’t back down.
Join us in the streets
During the Summer of Heat are repeatedly shutting down the entrances to corporate headquarters of banks, insurers, private equity funds, and asset managers. We’ll push institutional clients to cut ties with financial institutions that fund fossil fuels. We’ll call out the cultural institutions, like the MoMA, that these Wall Street firms donate to in order to distract from their complicity in the climate crisis. We’ll visit the penthouses and vacation homes of elite decision makers who choose profit over our future. Anytime they book a speaking engagement we’ll be there to shame them and demand they stop funding fossil fuels.
