Join the Mindful Rebels every Tuesday from 8 to 9am in a meditation sit-in or flyering inside the BlackRock lobby, a public space, as a silent but powerful force of direct action. Mindful rebels are a disruptive, non-violent presence who ask BlackRock to divest from fossil fuels, invest in renewable energy and adopt policies that prioritize the rights of indigenous communities around the world.
This is a secular meditation and is open to all folx willing to sit with us regardless of your contemplative practice. It is a non-arrestable action.
You will find us indoors near one of the two entrances on 53rd Street. The building spans the 52nd to 53rd street block. We understand BlackRock is moving soon so we won’t be here the following week BECAUSE we’re going to visit some other financial institutions financing climate destruction for February 14th (downtown in the morning… see XR’s BIG MONEY LOVES BIG OIL Event and afterwards heading back up to midtown for a co-sponsored event with Third Act NYC at 383 Madison (Chase HQ) where we will be beginning a new weekly Mindful Rebels presence (please come to all of this and come this week to learn more or look out for more updates). It’ll be a full morning of fun! We’re not quitting, just changing and growing!!!
Lastly, keep a look out for where our 2/21 Mindful Rebels morning sit will be… whether we’ll stay at the regular morning location (current plan) or go to welcome BlackRock at their new home at 50 Hudson Yards.
Why BlackRock? Because it is the largest asset manager, pouring vast amount of money into oil, gas and coal industries.
