On the 13 of May, protesters disrupted the "Diversity Green Business Conference," a "green capitalism" conference at the Baltimore Convention Center, where Josia Lindsay, vice president of a "Green Energy" hedge fund run by Fortress Investment was scheduled to speak. You may have heard of Huntingdon Life Sciences or HLS, notorious for killing 500 animals a day testing products like bleach and Splenda. What you may not have heard is that they are over $70 million in debt, and would not exist today if Fortress Investment hadn't bailed them out, showered them with loans and extended the loans when default appeared certain.
A banner was hung inside, attached to 30 green and black balloons on the third floor in front of the room where Josia Lindsay was sceduled to speak. Protesters then set up right outside the Convention Center's windows with loud bullhorns.
