  • THE COOPER UNION, NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES - 2017/04/25: Hundreds turned out in the rain for a prayerful rally on April 25, 2017; at the historic Cooper Union to protest Citibanks annual shareholder meeting. The Indigenous-led, and ally supported event sent a strong message to Citibank and its shareholders: honor Indigenous rights, stop extractive energy investment now, and invest in a Just Transition, and renewable energy towards a climate-stable future, calling to Divest, Defund and Decolonize their investments.
