Since June 10, 2024, the Summer of Heat on Wall Street campaign repeatedly has engaged in nonviolent civil disobedience at Citibank’s global headquarters to demand the dirty bank stop funding fossil fuels. Citi has poured $396.33 billion into coal, oil and gas companies and is the world’s #1 funder of fossil fuel expansion since 2016.
Activists have blockaded Citi’s doors 15 times, at least 3,500 total people have participated, and 462 people have been arrested to date. These efforts have shone a light on the critical role that major banks like Citi play in funding the climate crisis.
Unfortunately, instead of being accountable, Citi has answered by targeting campaign leaders and organizers to try and stop our momentum. This reveals Citi’s true priorities: protecting fossil fuel profits at the expense of our planet and us all.
This summer has been marked by unprecedented heat waves, devastating wildfire, and unnatural weather. Without drastic change, including an end to expanded fossil fuel production, the world will blow past its goals for limiting global warming.
Help us call out Citi's suppression tactics and demand the bank stop funding fossil fuels once and for all.
