Action at Citibank

by Crazy Jeff
Citibank is a leading financer of forest destruction. Today activists shut them down at several downtown SF locations.
More will be posted here soon ... including video clips and so forth.

But here is the deal so far ... There were four downtown banks that were targetted by forest activists for nonviolent civil-disobedience to draw attention to Citibanks destructive investments and partnerships. There were five different affinity action teams and several were arrested. One team may be given felony "property destruction" charges. Please check back on this for updates later and also look at the Rainforest Action Network's site for background information on Citibank's history of misguided investing. Todays actions here were in solidarity with activists in Equador who are protesting Citibank's investment in oil projects on indigenous and pristine lands there.

Cheers, Crazy Jeff
