CEO Shutdown: March to end climate destruction
When: Saturday, July 27th at 11am
Location: Citi’s HQ, 388 Greenwich St, New York, 10013
The world is on fire. It’s so hot people are literally dying. Ecosystems are collapsing. Hundreds of thousands are being displaced from their homes. And Wall Street is to blame.
Join us on Saturday, July 27th for the CEO Shutdown: March to End Climate Destruction.
It’s Wall Street’s billions that enable Big Oil to keep building its new pipelines, gas terminals and coal mines. Without the support of Wall Street, Big Oil will fail. And so we will make Wall Street’s financing of fossil fuels untenable.
We will rally at Citibank’s global headquarters. From there, we will march to the Citi CEOs home where we will stage a raucous noise protest (whistles, vuvuzelas, and noise makers will be provided) and occupy the street outside. We anticipate that the police will arrest many of us for this action.
We know it’s an extraordinary step to take our campaign to someone’s home. And it’s not one that we’re taking lightly. We have asked Citibank to end its support for fossil fuels for years. We have sent petitions, written letters, published reports, mobilized customers, and supported shareholder resolutions. In September, we shut down their global headquarters. In April, we did it twice. Since June 10th, we have done it twelve times.
And still, Citi is one of the world’s largest funders of fossil fuel expansion.
So we’re taking our demands to the doorstep of the person with the most power to end Citi’s financing for fossil fuels, the CEO. Whether you’re ready to take civil disobedience with us, or you only want to participate in the family-friendly march, there is a role for everyone in this action.
RSVP for more details and to get invited to trainings, legal briefings, and prep calls ahead of the action.
