Youth strikers, climate impacted communities, and climate and environmental justice activists joined together to escalate the demand for President Joe Biden to #BuildBackFossilFree and stop all new fossil fuel projects, ahead of his Leaders Summit on Climate starting tomorrow, from April 22-23. A Climate Clock traveled from Union Square in New York City to the White House in Washington, D.C. with a petition demanding Biden and world governments stop all fossil fuel expansion. Speakers represented climate impacted communities and the demands of the 300,000 people who signed the Build Back Fossil Free petitions.

In the lead-up to COP26 (the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties in Glasgow, Scotland), hundreds rallied in front of BlackRock, the worlds’ largest asset manager, with the message: “BLACKROCK, BANKS & BIDEN: STOP SETTING OUR WORLD ON FIRE!”

20 groups designed and painted circular murals which were then ‘woven’ together into a massive mural with an indigenous inspired basket design, filling the streets in front of BlackRock. The paint was non-toxic, some of it made from ash and charcoal from CA wildfires, some of it clay based from the CA foothills.

Members of Extinction Rebellion San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley Climate Action Now blockaded the front entrance to BlackRock with a human chain and ‘lock box’ tubes, while 1000 Grandmothers for a Livable Future used banners and mock oil derricks to redirect traffic and block off streets for the mural painting. As the massive mural was being completed, 2 young climbers unfurled a 10x50’ banner on the Salesforce Transit Center facade facing BlackRock.

The SF Bay Area based group Youth vs Apocalypse, led hundreds of high school and middle school students, who were missing school, in a march for their future through the San Francisco financial district, calling on banks to divest from fossil fuels.

From organizer David Solnit:

"Climate change is here, it is not a problem for the future; it has destroyed whole towns and communities at an ever increasing rate. We need Joe Biden and world leaders to act ahead of COP26 in Glasgow. We need top assets managers like BlackRock to divest. Time is up."

“On the eve of the Glasgow Climate Talks, wildfire survivors, Indigenous communities and Northern California community groups came together to paint the streets, send a message to Glasgow, and lay a creative siege to the biggest investor in climate chaos—BlackRock. It was part of a day of global action to #DefundClimateChaos with actions in over 100 cities in 26 countries on every continent—and painting street murals was a popular medium for the message.”

The SF Bay Area based group Youth vs Apocalypse, led hundreds of high school and middle school students, who were missing school, in a march for their future through the San Francisco financial district, calling on banks to divest from fossil fuels.

From organizer David Solnit:

"Climate change is here, it is not a problem for the future; it has destroyed whole towns and communities at an ever increasing rate. We need Joe Biden and world leaders to act ahead of COP26 in Glasgow. We need top assets managers like BlackRock to divest. Time is up."

“On the eve of the Glasgow Climate Talks, wildfire survivors, Indigenous communities and Northern California community groups came together to paint the streets, send a message to Glasgow, and lay a creative siege to the biggest investor in climate chaos—BlackRock. It was part of a day of global action to #DefundClimateChaos with actions in over 100 cities in 26 countries on every continent—and painting street murals was a popular medium for the message.”

DEFUND CLIMATE CHAOS!

BlackRock’s San Francisco headquarters

October 29, 2021

In the lead-up to COP26 (the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties in Glasgow, Scotland), hundreds rallied in front of BlackRock, the worlds’ largest asset manager, with the message: “BLACKROCK, BANKS & BIDEN: STOP SETTING OUR WORLD ON FIRE!”

20 groups designed and painted circular murals which were then ‘woven’ together into a massive mural with an indigenous inspired basket design, filling the streets in front of BlackRock. The paint was non-toxic, some of it made from ash and charcoal from CA wildfires, some of it clay based from the CA foothills.

Members of Extinction Rebellion San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley Climate Action Now blockaded the front entrance to BlackRock with a human chain and ‘lock box’ tubes, while 1000 Grandmothers for a Livable Future used banners and mock oil derricks to redirect traffic and block off streets for the mural painting. As the massive mural was being completed, 2 young climbers unfurled a 10x50’ banner on the Salesforce Transit Center facade facing BlackRock.

DEFUND CLIMATE CHAOS!

BlackRock’s San Francisco headquarters

October 29, 2021

In the lead-up to COP26 (the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties in Glasgow, Scotland), hundreds rallied in front of BlackRock, the worlds’ largest asset manager, with the message: “BLACKROCK, BANKS & BIDEN: STOP SETTING OUR WORLD ON FIRE!”

20 groups designed and painted circular murals which were then ‘woven’ together into a massive mural with an indigenous inspired basket design, filling the streets in front of BlackRock. The paint was non-toxic, some of it made from ash and charcoal from CA wildfires, some of it clay based from the CA foothills.

Members of Extinction Rebellion San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley Climate Action Now blockaded the front entrance to BlackRock with a human chain and ‘lock box’ tubes, while 1000 Grandmothers for a Livable Future used banners and mock oil derricks to redirect traffic and block off streets for the mural painting. As the massive mural was being completed, 2 young climbers unfurled a 10x50’ banner on the Salesforce Transit Center facade facing BlackRock.

The SF Bay Area based group Youth vs Apocalypse, led hundreds of high school and middle school students, who were missing school, in a march for their future through the San Francisco financial district, calling on banks to divest from fossil fuels.
