Climate Protesters Target NYC’s Iconic “Charging Bull” in Earth Day Protest
==========
On April 22, 2025, climate activists protested at Wall Street's 'Charging Bull' statue, criticizing capitalism's environmental impact. They installed a display of fabric feces symbolizing Wall Street's 'bullshit' and tagged the statue with 'Greed = Death' using washable green chalk paint. The protest, organized by a climate emergency group, coincided with Trump’s environmental rollbacks. Activists highlighted that the richest 1% contribute more carbon emissions than the poorest 66%, referencing a 2023 Oxfam report. The demonstration lasted about half an hour before police intervened, resulting in no arrests.
