This story was originally published by the Guardian and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. One day after the largest climate march since the start of the Covid pandemic, hundreds of climate activists blockaded the Federal Reserve Bank in New York to call for an end to funding for coal, oil and gas, with police making scores of arrests. “Fossil fuel companies…wouldn’t be able to operate without money, and that money is coming primarily from Wall Street,” Alicé Nascimento, environmental campaigns director at New York Communities for Change, said hours before she was arrested. The action came as world leaders began arriving in New York for the United National General Assembly gathering and followed Sunday’s 75,000-person March to End Fossil Fuels, which focused on pushing Biden to urgently phase out fossil fuels.
