Activists Shut Down Park Ave, Take Aim at BlackRock, Chase For Climate Destruction
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In New York City, climate and housing activists shut down Park Avenue
for the fifth straight day Saturday, the 10th anniversary of Hurricane
Sandy, to demand banks and major corporations stop funding fossil fuels,
and that Governor Hochul tax wealthy New Yorkers to enact a Green New
Deal. Dozens of activists were arrested over the past week during
actions at JPMorgan Chase, Black Rock, and in front of Black Rock CEO
Stephen Schwartzman's apartment building. The protests were organized by
Extinction Rebellion, New York Communities for Change, Sunrise NYC and
other groups.
