Climate activists disrupted a speech yesterday by President Biden’s climate adviser Ali Zaidi during an official Climate Week NYC event. Two protesters held up a banner reading “Off fossil fuels. Free Palestine” as they took the stage.

Ali Zaidi: “… are necessary to have” —

Protester: “The Biden and Harris campaign cannot continue to fund and subsidize and approve new fossil fuel projects. They also have to stop funding Israel and the Pentagon, who are continuing to carry out the genocide of the Palestinian people.”

And nearby, at Citibank’s headquarters in Manhattan, police arrested over 30 activists as they blocked the building’s entrance and demanded it stop funding fossil fuel projects. Protesters also called for world leaders gathering at the U.N. General Assembly to put people over profit and end the war on Gaza. Democracy Now! was there; we’ll play voices from that action later in the broadcast.
