On 8 July 2024, dozens of elder climate activists, including 350.org co-founder Bill McKibben, were arrested in New York City, USA while protesting Citibank’s continued financing of fossil fuel projects.

The group, known as Third Act, which consists mostly of members aged 60 and older, led a “funeral procession” near Citibank’s headquarters. The demonstration was held in remembrance of senior citizens who have died during recent heatwaves and to condemn the bank for being the leading funder of fossil fuel expansion worldwide.
