This is the best summary I could come up with:
The protest movement calls itself Summer of Heat on Wall Street, and its main target is Citigroup, which, according to a recent report by a coalition of environmental groups, is pouring the most money into new oil and gas projects worldwide.
The activists’ tactics have spanned a wide range, from low-octane, read-along events with toddlers to boisterous blockades and disciplined civil disobedience actions.
“Just seeing the amount of people who have been made unalive because of the climate crisis already,” Shanika Anderson, a 41-year-old preschool teacher, said before explaining in a whisper that she was reluctant to use words like “kill” around her 4-year-old son, Sage.
“You can’t just stay at home,” said Rachel Cole, 39, an artist from Brooklyn who came Wednesday with her husband and 2-year-old, adding that she had been kept up at night worrying about the worsening heat waves and the presidential election.
In a memo to employees last month, Edward Skyler, Citi’s head of enterprise services and public affairs, said the company believed “divestment would not lead to a responsible and orderly transition,” and that fossil fuels would play a critical role globally for decades, especially in emerging markets.
Earlier this week, protesters dressed up as Costco hot dogs and blocked the entrance to Citigroup headquarters midmorning, as bank employees milled around, waiting for the police to clear the area.
