A week of protests led by Gulf South residents, including activists Manning Rollerson and Roishetta Ozane, targeted major financial institutions in New York City, demanding they stop insuring or financing fossil fuel projects in Texas and Louisiana. The demonstrations, part of a broader movement against environmental racism and climate injustice, focused on companies like Chubb, AIG, BlackRock, MUFG, Mizuho, and Citigroup, which are linked to funding or insuring oil and gas infrastructure such as the Calcasieu Pass 2 (CP2) LNG terminal. Protesters highlighted health impacts from pollution, including asthma and cancer, and drew parallels between environmental harm in the Gulf South and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, citing shared financiers. Despite the protests, the companies largely declined to comment, and activists reported minimal media coverage. The events occurred from July 28 to August 3, 2025, and included marches, picketing, and a symbolic act of cultural resistance involving line dancing.
