Hi,

Every single dirty, polluting energy project in the United States heightens the threat of the climate crisis — Rio Grande LNG is no different.

Rio Grande LNG (liquid “natural” gas) is a proposed methane gas export terminal slated for Brownsville, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley.1 If it moves forward, this project will have devastating impacts on community health, Indigenous rights, endangered species, and our shared climate.

Methane gas has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide over the first 20 years after it reaches the atmosphere. With this dangerous project imminent, we must pressure insurance companies to refuse to insure this project. The future of our planet and impacted local communities depends on this action.

Sign the petition: Urge insurance companies to say NO to this natural gas export project on the Rio Grande.

The science is clear: we can't afford any new oil and gas projects if we're going to avoid climate catastrophe. And local Indigenous communities do not want the damage that this project will bring to their land and their health.2

Despite climate and community impacts and years of community resistance, Rio Grande LNG is set to move forward. Big Insurers like Chubb, Liberty Mutual, and Sompo have the power to stop this project by refusing to insure it and all methane expansion.

Our planet and our health is on the line. We must show these insurance companies that without halting this project and other dirty projects, there will be nothing left to insure.

Add your name: Tell insurers NO insurance for the Rio Grande LNG!

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
