Is the worsening climate crisis beginning to make you feel hopeless for your and your family's future? Join Climate First! and many others in an online meeting this coming Wednesday evening for the launch of the "Summer of Heat on Wall Street" campaign. This campaign is an effort to build a major disruptive nonviolent movement to push the Wall Street financiers to end their massive funding of climate-wrecking fossil fuels. See "details" below.    

Throughout history, sustained, disruptive nonviolent campaigns have delivered justice around the world, including movements involving civil rights in the U.S., apartheid policies in South Africa, and Indian independence. Recently, in October 2023 the Dutch government began the process of phasing out fossil fuel subsidies after a month-long blockade of a major motorway. And with roughly 14 percent of Americans currently willing to engage in nonviolent civil disobedience to fight the climate crisis, the opportunity to build a mass climate movement is growing.

The Summer of Heat campaign is a nonviolent civil disobedience movement committed to ending fossil fuel financing and fighting for the future of our planet. The plan is to hold multiple disruptive nonviolent direct actions against Wall Street climate polluters, including major banks, insurance companies, and investors, all in an effort to end the financing of coal, oil, and gas in the United States.
