Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell was briefly escorted out of a room in New York after climate protesters interrupted the start of a speech he was slated to deliver on the U.S. economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The protesters \u2013 who appeared to be from a group called Climate Defiance \u2013 were removed by security.<\/p>\n

The group’s mission calls for “consistent, mass-turnout, nonviolent disruption to stop business as usual and compel politicians to act” in order to end fossil fuel extractions on federal lands and waters.<\/p>\n

They were chanting “end fossil fuel finance” and carrying signs that accused the Federal Reserve of “burning money, futures, planet.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The group also interrupted an event attended by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg last week demanding that he stop fossil fuel infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n

Powell resumed the speech several minutes after he was led out of a room at the Economic Club of New York.\u00a0<\/p>\n
