We are going to go to the American Museum of Natural History 3/16/25. We have been protesting at the museum for a year and 3/4 now to get the museum to accurately educate the public and declare a climate emergency. Our actions have been fruitful: they have updated their climate exhibit with images and data that highlight our skyrocketing global greenhouse gas emissions. However, they still downplay the crisis language and are not educating visitors to the museum about the severity of our current climate and biodiversity breakdown. We are asking them to take a stand to defend, protect and educate the public by declaring a climate emergency and being loud and clear about our crisis.

Our action on 3/16/25 will have two components. First, we will meet up at 81st St. and Central Park West in Central Park. Then we will go in the museum, and hold our protest performance party- speak out, teach in, music, dancing, flyering, banners, all the good stuff. We will do this for about an hour. Then we will “march” to Raymond McGuire’s apt. about 3 blocks away with the Bucket Drum Brigade. Raymond McGuire is the treasurer of the Board of Trustees at the Museum, and he also sits on the board of Hess Corp. and profits $330,000/yr off this seat, and that is just a small portion of his fossil fuel profits. We will flier, sing and chant; spreading the word that his neighbors are living next to a green-washer /oil enabler, someone who gains off the cause of ecocidal climate disasters. We are asking him to be a good neighbor and commit to getting the museum to declare a climate and ecological emergency.

We have connected the dots, the board of trustees of the AMNH is occupied by many who financially gain from the fossil fuel industry.
