"Senior Activists Demand Big Banks Stop Funding Fossil Fuels in Nationwide Protests"

TL;DR Summary
Activists, including baby boomers, are protesting outside the four largest US banks to pressure them to stop financing fossil fuels and shift towards renewable energy. The banks, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, and Wells Fargo, are the world's largest lenders to the fossil fuel industry, having provided over $1 trillion in lending and underwriting since the adoption of the Paris climate accord in 2015. The protests are part of a national campaign organized by Third Act, a group that seeks to engage Americans 60 and older in environmental activism.
