Insurance companies have an opportunity to help secure a safe, livable future for us and future generations. It’s time for these companies to decide, are they going to insure our future or continue to help burn it to the ground?

They've demonstrated that they can accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels through their coal exit policies. Yet they’re dragging their feet on exiting from oil and gas projects. One of the oil and gas industry’s biggest secrets is that everything from extracting, transporting, refining, and exporting requires insurance. Without insurance fossil fuel companies can't operate. This means that insurers have the power to rein in the out of control expansion that threatens our communities and is worsening the climate crisis.

To make matters worse, many of the same insurance companies underwriting oil and gas projects are raising rates and outright refusing to ensure homes that sit in the path of the resulting climate destruction. That ain't right!

Join us in the streets of New York City to demand the insurance industry stop underwriting destruction and #InsureOurFutureNOW.

Tuesday, February 27, 3:00pm, New York Public Library, 476 5th Ave.

The coalition participating in this march is led by Rainforest Action Network and Climate Defenders.
