June 25 update – Our Gulf South Solidarity Week is off and running! Yesterday, frontline activists from Texas and Louisiana joined the Summer of Heat at the headquarters of some of the planet’s biggest fossil fuel investors: BlackRock, Bank of America, KKR, MUFG and Mizuho. We had pikachus, a dance number in Times Square, and a lot of banners, chants, songs and energy.

Check out the blog post for more updates, photos, and more!

We're targeting the three things new fossil fuel infrastructure needs to get built: Money, permits and insurance. Tomorrow we're targeting the big insurance companies, and then Thursday a delegation will zip down to DC to attend the FERC meeting and speak out against CP2 – the climate wrecking LNG export terminal. But our biggest action of the week is still on Friday, June 28. We're meeting at 10am in Zucotti park and marching to the Citibank HQ for the biggest mass action so far of the Summer of Heat.

If you can get to NYC, please RSVP and do so. If you can't make it to actions this week, you can chip in to support our work, sign our petition to get updates on actions you can take from home, and/or you can share the news with your networks online. Forward this email or visit the blog post for info you can share on Facebook, Instagram, and more.

Thanks,

Drew and the 198 methods to defund fossil fuels crew
