Climate Protesters Arrested for Blocking Citigroup's NYC Headquarters

TL;DR
Over 20 people were arrested outside Citigroup's headquarters in New York City during a climate protest organized by activist groups opposing the bank's financial support for the oil, gas, and coal industries. Demonstrators blocked entrances to the building, but police eventually cleared a path for employees to enter. Approximately 150 people attended the protest, and Citigroup stated that while they respect the right to protest, activists do not have the right to prevent people from entering their building.
