Activists to walk out of BlackRock keynote at Cleveland sustainability summit

• They then plan to host a "teach-in" at the convention center focused on community-centered sustainable solutions.

Details: The walkout is co-sponsored by Cleveland Owns, the InterReligious Task Force, the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless and the Greater Cleveland Housing Justice Coalition.

What they're saying: "Making a just transition to a clean energy economy in Cleveland requires putting people first," Jonathan Welle, lead organizer and co-founding board member of Cleveland Owns, tells Axios.

• "We need to build a lot of rooftop solar arrays in Cleveland … If we allow the BlackRocks of the world to own them, they will use them to extract wealth from our city. That's not a just transition — that's windfall for Wall Street."

The other side: Kaitlin Bergan, the keynote speaker, is expected to discuss "sustainable investing."

• GCP did not respond to Axios's requests for comment.
