In solidarity with the People vs Fossil Fuels "Week of Action" planned for October 11-15, 2021 in Washington, D.C.--where many will be performing civil disobedience outside the White House in an effort to push President Biden to end the fossil fuel era--Climate First! will run its third action of the week against fossil fuel-supporting banks.
