As the United Nations General Assembly meets in New York City alongside Climate Week, dozens of activists were arrested Monday at a protest outside of Citibank's global headquarters while demanding the company divest from fossil fuels. Democracy Now! was there and we feature voices of Bill McKibben and other climate activists from the Gulf South, Bangladesh and more on the impact of Citibank-funded projects in their communities. "I'm not even a teenager yet, and I have to fight for my life and many others my age," says 12-year-old Kamea Ozane from Southwest Louisiana. "I shouldn't have to do this. This is not right."
Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday. Watch our livestream at democracynow.org Mondays to Fridays 8-9 a.m. ET.

Shut down the PENTAGON!
Really wanna hurt The Big Banks? Pull all your money out, close your accounts, & put your money in local Credit Unions. They never do you wrong.
💵🙆🏿♂️🙆🏽♀️💰
They don't need deposits from plebians anymore because they own your representative government and simply print money while making your money worth less, eventually worthless.
Are you sure about that? I mean I don't know enough about federal credit unions to make a definitive judgement about them but let's not be naive here.
@@nil981 The way I understand it, the Credit Union system has been corrupted by the larger system and can't illicit more members via higher savings rates without seeing the wrath of the big banks.
thats stupid. Pull your money out and put it in Gold and Silver
Years ago I would agree but some of the co-ops are following suit and doing big bank stuff nowadays.
Citibank raised the minimum on my checking account to $30,000. I had to withdraw my money and close the account. They deserve this!
Cool story, citi bank can care less
@@mof5490A 30,000$ minimum OMG 😱 that is absolutely ridiculous now that is extreme capitalism 🤢🤮
greed is taking us all out
Capitalism and the conditioned minds.
You're just as greedy if you're keeping your money.
I'm bawling. Their/our expressed rage is so relevant and justified.
Bless that little girl. So smart.
Respect life, all life, plant, animal, human and spore.
Save our beautiful planet!🌍
Save Palestine!!!✌
Citi has a LONG history of profit over principle. They went into Viet Nam BEFORE the trade embargo was lifted. NO MORALS AT ALL.
Huh
US trade embargos have NO Moral. How many Venezuelan children can never grow up to their potential because they were STARVING under the US embargo?? Do you know? The Greater Evil are the baseless accusations by Selfish US Politicians upon foreign countries. US embargos are Pure Evil.
Thank you all! Good to see the grey hairs there too!
I didn't see Jill Stein, though. Was she there?
Cheers.
Good on them

Very cool! Love to see a good protest action.
Thank you, climate activists ♥
If you're going to shut something down, shut down the IRS, the government, the insurance companies. This is just busy work that doesn't help the whole, but the few. The average Joe is drowning in debt, bills, student loans, high food costs, neighborhoods being taken over by illegal immigrants, homelessness, etc.
Overall, I do commend them for fighting for what they believe in, though. At least they are doing something about something. I guess.
We all have a passion, and if everyone demanded better for their passion, whether it be food prices, IRS, or whatever it is, I think the world would be a better place. I'm just too pissed at everything right now to pick one thing.
Tf?!
Poor Citibank...
Wish I would have been healthy or strong enough to be there. Blessed 🐝... all climate activists all over Mother Earth - of all races, creeds, species!!
I know between doctor visits and taking care of grandkids, Lord, we are there in spirit! ❤ I'm from New Orleans Louisiana and lived on the coast in Mississippi.
I’m Navajo 68 years old from New Mexico,I wish I could be there too
AGAIN: BLACK WOMEN LEAD THE MARCH! SAY THANK YOU!

' .. his climate accomplishments..'
Akin to his views on arming a genocide ?
We await with baited breath.
" But man, proud man,
Dress'd in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he's most assur'd-
His glassy essence-like an angry ape
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As makes the angels weep; who, with our spleens,
Would all themselves laugh mortal.”
William Shakespeare, Measure For Measure.

Was that grey haired woman Jill Stein? She didn't look quite like her to me.
Any thanks.
Absolutely pathetic
Be a better human
@@costidisa be a free thinker
@@KennyG920Reality check: thinking freely doesn't automatically mean you know what you're talking about. Opinions and facts are not the same.
Show me your qualifications to question climate science, and then we can talk.
hopefully it STAYS shut down
This was democracy cringe
Chemtrail daily sky spraying & chemicals in residential water & GMO foods, etc need a platform...
You need therapy
1960 world population was 3 billion, 2024 8.2 billion, the potential level of Human activity has almost tripled yet temperatures remain stable and regulated, scenarios such as this can be studied.
They have no reason to accept your request for appointment. You have no say in what they do with their own money. Ever think to get together to invest in CitiBank stocks? Own enough percentage if stock & you just bought your say in the banks budget. If they still dont obey, buy more than 50%.
Dr. JILL STEIN 4 PRESIDENT...2024...!!!😮😮😮
You need 🌲 trees for more oxygen levels, if no grass in the soil, Temp. Hi . You wanna guys remember o zone is closed a few years ago, if no burn fuels and trees maybe o zone open , consequences is hi temp. And different waves, especially Red wave . Please understand it's usa policy to gulf petroleum not earn sufficient to afford war/contra attack to Israel.
Nothing worse than fanatics who think they know what's best for us all. Pathetic.
This girl isnt even old enough to Drive, Vote, or Drink Alcohol yet she's barking about 'Climate Change'?! Boy, you just cant make this stuff up 😊
Yes religious fanatic lawmakers and billionaires.
Whales use to swim in the Egyptian desert, was that because of human activity or did the ocean rise before human evolution.
Your logic makes no sense. Change over millions of years happens...
And humans are driving up emissions which are trapping more heat thereby heating the planet as well as creating pollution which damages ecosystems.
Drill baby drill.
Palm trees in Antartica, three dimensional check mate, whales in the Egyptian desert, three dimensional check mate, did humans cause this or were we still just little monkeys at this time.
what you do is not act like a dork. You promote the new reactors that burn old waste and leaves no radiation or waste
Life without fossil fuels is called poverty. It’s a tough life!
Lame and ineffective.
So why aren't you there then? You'd make a good coach.
@@ceeemm1901 a few protesters against a trillion dollar company? Please. In no universe could that ever be anything but lame and ineffective.
Good on the protests!
Rich people couldn’t care less on how poor people struggle as long as they’re enjoying their high lives.
We're the 99percent. They're one percent. If enough sheep jump the fence we can get this done ❤❤
Right 👍
Say it again baby ❤❤❤❤❤
If you care about the environment, let the cheap EVs in without Protectionism.
then maybe dont fish
Great work Guys 💙💙
Wow...
Get your priorities together.
RESPECT TO THESE PEOPLE
You know that we're doomed, right?
Mask up Dems! Do your part
Don't get arrested. Police are dangerous.
Police get off on people's fear. Because we fascist.
Get off= orgasm. Just to be more clear.
Notice how the Police Reacted.
Corporation is being challenged. Full Armed Response with overwhelming Force.
Non violent protest does nothing 😂
Anything bad that happens to you is due to Citibank😂😂
