Thu 8 Aug 2024 19.13 EDT"A 63-year-old climate activist and professional cellist faces up to seven years in #prison after being arrested on Thursday while performing a Bach solo outside the headquarters of one of the world’s largest fossil fuel financier Citibank in downtown New York.
"#JohnMarkRozendaal, a former Princeton professor, and #AlecConnon, director of the climate nonprofit group #StopTheMoneyPipeline, were arrested for criminal contempt in the public park at the bank’s global headquarters as the crackdown against #nonviolent climate protesters escalates.
"Rozendaal was handcuffed and led away to the police vehicle singing 'we are not afraid, we are not afraid, we will sing for liberation because we know why we were made'. The crowd of protesters chanted 'let him play' and “ shame on you Citibank”.
"Thirteen other climate activists, who had linked arms in a circle around Rozendaal to protect him as he played Bach’s suites for cello, were detained for alleged obstruction of governmental administration, a misdemeanor criminal charge. 'People are dying … today is my birthday,' said Mike Bucci, 77, teary eyed as the police in #RiotGear broke up the protest.
"Since 10 June, climate activists have been peacefully protesting against Citibank’s record financial support for new fossil fuel projects as part of the Summer of Heat on Wall Street campaign. At least 3,700 people have participated in the nonviolent civil disobedience, repeatedly blockading the entrance to its global headquarters. More than 475 people including faith leaders, scientists and elders have been arrested while calling on Citi to stop bankrolling new #coal, #oil and #gas.
"Citi is the second largest financier of fossil fuels and the largest financier of fossil fuel expansion since the 2015 Paris climate agreement, according to the latest Banking on #ClimateChaos report.
"The latest arrests come as climate advocates accuse Citibank and the #NYPD of coordinated and escalating efforts to suppress nonviolent protests in retaliation for drawing attention to the banking giant’s key role in funding fossil projects globally."

When I received a credit card application from Wells Fargo recently, I returned it with a note explaining I would consider doing business with them once they stopped financing oil & gas projects. I received this bullshit letter in response, explaining that they've increased their due diligence on those projects. In other words, they assess the risks to life on earth and then fund the projects regardless. #StopTheMoneyPipeline #ClimateCrisis

Proud to stand (well, mostly sit) with such a skilled and dedicated team of activists yesterday at oily Wells Fargo HQ. We called on shareholders to vote in favor of climate justice resolutions and divest from fossil fuels. Pix & vids:
