Climate First!'s 12th Anniversary is coming soon, and we are celebrating! Please help us continue our climate work by making a financial gift during our 24 hour online fundraiser on Saturday, November 16, 2024. See "details" below.

As with any Birthday, we are looking back over the years, and we recall many amazing Climate First! actions and other events.

From attending COP21 in Paris, France, where the ground-breaking Paris Climate Accord was signed in 2015......,

           Tower; 12-12-15.

 ..... to one of our most well-attended bank protests ever (51 people, mostly young students) at a local branch of the #1 climate-polluting bank in the world--JPMorgan Chase......,

....and to also being a part of the "Summer of Heat on Wall Street" campaign in New York City in 2024. In this campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience, nearly all of the actions occurred at the headquarters of Citibank, a lender that has been found to be the #1 funder of fossil fuel expansion of all the banks in the world. And in total, there were 700 arrests for civil disobedience during the campaign.

Orcas got arrested at Citi's HQ; 6-11-24.

It's been an honor for us to work on saving the climate. And we hope to continue our climate campaigning for many decades to come. Any amount that you can contribute will help us toward that goal.
