Today, cellist John Mark Rozendaal risked a max sentence of 7 years in prison to protest Citibank's massive fossil fuel funding.
@Citi obtained an unconstitutional restraining order against him so he could not legally return to protest.

Shame on Columbia. Shame on the NYPD. Shame on Eric Adams & Governor Hochul. Shame on CCNY.
If someone stole a few dollars worth of food at the self checkout, Walmart would press all the charges & prosecutors would file them. But Walmart stealing MILLIONS at the same checkout? They just pay a fee. WHERE IS THE CARCERAL PUNISHMENT FOR WALMART EXECS!?
