This will be the largest Summer of Heat action so far. We will engage in
a joyous, musical second-line
march from Wall
Street to Citibank’s HQ. We will carry banners and signs calling out
environmental racism and climate chaos, and we will dance and sing and
have fun. When we arrive at Citibank’s HQ, hundreds of us will engage in
nonviolent civil disobedience in what we expect will be one of the
largest mass climate civil disobedience actions in this country for
several years.
