MoMA Drop KKR - Protect Our Communities!

  • Museum of Modern Art 11 West 53rd Street New York, NY, 10019 United States (map)

It's time for the Museum of Modern Art to cut ties with climate destroyers like KKR, a private equity firm that has invested nearly $15 billion in fossil fuel projects in just the last two years.

KKR is behind the Coastal Gaslink Pipeline currently being built through Wet’suwet’en Indigenous lands in Canada. Land defenders are being violently repressed and criminalized for fighting against fossil fuels and demanding Indigenous rights.


As if that's not enough, KKR is responsible for massive expansions of racist methane gas projects poisoning black and brown communities in the Gulf South. While the MoMA promises to ‘lead on sustainability’, they have no problem doing business with KKR, and even naming a gallery after the private equity’s co-founder Henry Kravis.

On September 15th at 1 PM, hereditary chiefs and front-line activists from Canada and the Gulf South will travel to the MoMA to demand that the Museum keep its promises on climate justice and cut ties with the people destroying their communities.

We will be there to support them and amplify their demands. JOIN US!
