New York, United States - July 25, 2025 Two climate activists from Extinction Rebellion NYC staged a dramatic protest at Meta’s offices inside Moynihan Hall at Penn Station on the morning of July 25, calling out the company’s role in climate collapse and political influence. The demonstrators chalk-sprayed Meta’s office windows with messages including “Zuck Loves Trump,” “Meta Makes Kings,” and “Zuck Fcks Climate.” One protester poured water to represent AI’s massive environmental cost while chanting, “Dump Trump, Meta!” Both individuals were arrested. Greg Schwedock, one of the activists, said, “Mark Zuckerberg and the class of CEO’s he belongs to know full well the impacts their businesses have on our planet. Why else would he have built a bunker island in the middle of the ocean? They will pay the price of change today socially, or tomorrow existentially. We are hoping to force the first option, for life on Earth.” Extinction Rebellion accuses Meta of worsening the climate crisis through energy-hungry AI systems and failing to protect democratic institutions. The group pointed to Zuckerberg’s presence at Trump’s 2025 inauguration and a rollback of fact-checking policies as evidence of political alignment. “Is Mark Zuckerberg, one of the richest people on the planet, really more afraid of Trump than of the collapse of the world his kids will inherit?” asked Devin Lilly, a spokesperson for Extinction Rebellion. “When will he choose to stand for the future instead of his bottom line?” Other group members condemned tech giants for prioritizing profit while the climate emergency intensifies. “The math is clear. There is no wealth to be preserved, no markets to expand, and no profits to be had on a planet that’s burning, drowning, and collapsing,” said Miles Grant. Extinction Rebellion NYC is urging the public to boycott companies like Meta, warning that unchecked AI expansion and fossil fuel dependency endanger the future.
