John,
The Rio Grande Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) project in Brownsville, Texas is a ticking time bomb for environmental racism, community health, and our global climate.
This fossil fuel project blatantly ignores the rights and health of local communities, including the Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribe, the rightful custodians of these lands.
The unchecked expansion of methane from this terminal poses an existential threat to our global climate efforts, working to undo years of environmental progress and international commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Here lies our opportunity: Insurance companies like Chubb, Liberty Mutual, and Sompo have the power to halt this project. With their insurance renewal looming in March 2024, our window to influence their decision is closing fast.
Demand these insurers listen to impacted communities and reject their support for Rio Grande LNG.
The Rio Grande LNG project isn't just a local issue, it's a glaring symbol of environmental injustice and climate neglect. By supporting this project, insurers are perpetuating harm against vulnerable communities and our planet.
Their decision can steer us away from environmental destruction and towards a path of sustainable and community-respectful practices or it can perpetuate a cycle of environmental degradation, endangering both local ecosystems and global climate goals.
The health of our planet and communities is at stake. The insurers' decision in March 2024 must take a step towards a responsible, sustainable future.
This is a fight for environmental justice, safety, and our future so let's hold these insurers accountable from now until the March 2024 deadline.
Sign and send the petition to the insurers connected to this project: Listen to impacted communities and publicly drop Rio Grande LNG before the insurance renewal in March 2024.
Together we will build a movement for justice and for our planet's future.
