Climate activists were arrested outside Citigroup’s headquarters in Lower Manhattan on Monday morning. The activists gathered to block bank employees from entering the building as part of the 'Summer of Heat on Wall Street' campaign. The protest aimed to draw attention to Citigroup's role in financing fossil fuels and other activities contributing to climate change. The demonstration led to mass arrests as the coalition of activists effectively shut down the Citibank headquarters.
