Climate Activists Arrested While Protesting Fossil Fuel Funding at Federal Reserve Bank in New York

Climate activists blocked the Federal Reserve bank in New York, calling for an end to funding for fossil fuels. Police arrested scores of demonstrators.
The protest came after Sunday's 75,000-person climate march in NYC and as world leaders arrive for the UN General Assembly.
Activists say big banks like the Federal Reserve enable climate change through financing fossil fuels. They're willing to risk arrest to demand action.
Since the 2015 Paris accord, major banks have provided over $3 trillion to expand fossil fuel operations, far more than governments' climate finance.
The action follows protests targeting BlackRock, Citibank, and MoMA in NYC over fossil fuel investments. More demonstrations are planned this week during the UN's climate summit.
