Climate First!'s "Early Summer" fundraiser is in full swing, and we have gotten donations. Thank you!

To everyone else, please help Climate First! with its campaigning, office needs, among other things, by giving generously during our ten day fundraiser. 

The Summer of Heat--a campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience in New York City that is calling for the end to fossil fuels--began on Monday, June 10, 2024. Climate First! was involved from the start when we attended the opening action at Citibank's headquarters (HQ) in NYC, as well as the orca action the next day at the bank.

Then nearly a month later--this past Monday--Climate First! attended the opening event of Elders Week. The action featured an outdoor press conference, followed by a mock funeral procession in honor of all that's been lost due to the climate crisis. And then it closed with a die-in that blockaded some of the front doors of Citi's building. As a result, 46 activists, including Bill McKibben, were arrested. Some participants in the event said it was an extraordinarily emotional action for them, especially when a bagpiper slowly led the funeral procession around the whole building with some people carrying labeled gravestones and a coffin as props.
