"Our faiths teach us causing harm is wrong. Yet that’s exactly what @Citi is doing by investing in new fossil fuel projects. I'm taking action because I believe people of faith have a moral responsibility to stand up for the vulnerable.” -@revchelseamac#Faiths4Climate
@XR_NYC Jesus tells us “blessed are the peacemakers.” @POTUS as a Catholic, you have a moral obligation to stop the war on #gaza. Stop sending billions to Netanyahu’s war machine!
Last night as we marched down 5th Ave, I was thinking: THIS is how a Hindu of conscience observes #Deepavali. By speaking the Truth. By doing her Dharma. By bringing, being the Light in the face of evil.
And at that moment, the setting Sun blessed our march! 🌇🪔🕉️
@JFKairport 👋🏼 I have a question. Why is there literally NO staff person at customs right now? You have an entire planeful waiting and not a staff person in sight. This, after a ten hour international flight??
Most people STILL have absolutely no idea what's already here, and what's coming very soon, with climate breakdown. A small number of people have been trying so hard to let everyone know and we are mainly ignored and ridiculed.
🚨Climate activists breached BlackRock’s security to access the upper level of their HQ, where they poured coal down the escalators to send a message to the worlds largest investor in fossil fuels!

Important leadership from @greenfaith and a host of religious leaders.
Blackrock has more money than any institution in the world, and way too many people worship that
.@BlackRock Hear this: People of faith and spirit will not stop until we see climate justice realized. We CAN do better. We MUST do better. For people AND planet.

Us: please stop investing hundreds of billions of dollars into new fossil fuel projects & deforestation and start investing in a rapid transition to 100% renewables amidst an equitable phase-out of fossil fuels instead.
