For months we’ve taken action at Citi to demand they stop financing fossil fuels. Our action in June with Gulf leaders was one of the biggest, boldest, and best of the summer – and it got us our one and only meeting with Citibank staff to talk about our demands. But Citi has refused to …
We told you a few weeks ago about our plan to attend the September 19 meeting of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and shut down this rubber stamping agency at a critical moment for our climate and the US fossil fuel export industry. In case you missed our planning call last week, here’s an …
It’s been an amazing summer of action to stop Citi and the big banks funding climate chaos and the fossil fuel corporations powering the crisis. And now our last (for now) official action is coming up on Thursday, September 5. Whether you’ve danced, dressed up as an orca, taken action at the doors of Citi …
For the past 12 weeks, we’ve been telling you about the Summer of Heat on Wall Street where we’re taking action to end the finance of fossil fuels. All kinds of people have taken action at the global headquarters of Citibank, the largest funder of fossil fuel expansion. So far, nearly 500 people have been …

Last week we asked you to sign a petition to those companies and to identify whose cards you had in your wallet. This week, we’re delivering the message to tell Citi’s most important clients to …
It’s been another amazing week on the Summer of Heat campaign to break up fossil fuels and Wall Street Banks. On Sunday, as we told you, families went to the home of Citi CEO Jane Fraser and built a memorial to children and families displaced by climate chaos. Also as expected, several dozen people were …
I hate even mentioning WV Senator Joe Manchin’s name. For years we fought him and his dirty deals, defeating his fossil fueled proposals time after time — until finally President Biden sold us out on a debt ceiling deal, and then on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and let Manchin have everything he wanted —from …
Citibank, the biggest funder of new fossil fuel expansion in the world, has been lashing out at lawful, peaceful protest and we’re taking our complaint right to the CEO – Jane Fraser.
