      For the third straight day, climate action advocates descended on Washington, D.C. Wednesday--this time for an Indigenous-led demonstration demanding that President Joe Biden stand up "for the rights of our communities instead of doing the bidding of corporate polluters."

      "If we can stop these pipelines, stop our dependence on oil and gas, and change to cleaner types of energy that are sustainable, it will protect the future."
      --Crystal Cavalier-Keck, MVP opponent

      Blackrock: Stop Stealing Our Future

      Climate Activists Put 'All Eyes on BlackRock' With Protests Demanding Shareholder Action

      "We're giving notice that we'll be watching to see if BlackRock will actually pour any water on the flames it has started. We're here because we can't fix our planet with promises, only action can do that."

      As corporations around the world prepare for annual shareholder meetings, climate activists held a series of actions leading up to and throughout the weekend in cities around the world that aimed to put "all eyes on BlackRock," the world's largest money manager, with nearly $9 trillion in assets under management.

      "At the moment, BlackRock is a major part of the problem," said Robin Wells, an English teacher and activist with Fossil Free London who joined the U.K. city's demonstration, in a statement from the global network BlackRock's Big Problem.

      Climate defenders in Canada have stopped work on a section of Enbridge's controversial 'Line 9' pipeline in Burlington, Ontario Tuesday morning, as part of a rising tide of resistance against the proliferation of tar sands oil--dubbed "the dirtiest fuel in the world."

      The group--which is comprised of environmentalists, local residents, and members of First Nations--arrived at the road leading to the site at 7:00 AM and began turning away Enbridge Oil employees. The protesters say that Enbridge is undergoing construction to prepare the pipe to carry tar sands bitumen across Ontario eastward through Quebec into the United States through Vermont and on to the Maine coast for export.
