Zürich Protesters Block Entrances to Swiss Banks That Finance Climate Crisis
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Switzerland, some 30 climate justice advocates were arrested Monday
after peacefully blocking the entrances to two of the country's largest
banks in Zürich's financial district. On Twitter, the group Collectif
Breakfree Suisse, which led the demonstration, said, "Either phase out
fossil fuels or face forest fires, famines, droughts, and floods." This
is one of the protesters.

Stephanie Wyss: "We are not here because we're stupid or have nothing
else to do. We're here because we no longer know what we can do. We have
fought for two years."
