NY: Extinction Rebellion action at New York Times by Gabriele Holtermann-Gordenn
Members of the climate activist group Extinction Rebellion climbed the New York Times building on 8th Avenue between 40th and 41st streets in Midtown Manhattan and hung up a banner on the building demanding climate justice. At the same time, two activists hang up a Climate Emergency sign from the Port Authority building across the NYT building. Activists blocked traffic, forming a human chain and staged a die-in in front of the building. Their action called out the New York Times for ignoring the climate emergency in its reporting. Simultaneously, a group of activists came from Bryant Park and marched towards the Times where they met up with the group that participated in a peaceful act of civil disobedience.
