Relentless public mobilization is making the biggest insurance firms rule
out insuring the environmentally disastrous East African Crude Oil
Pipeline (EACOP). But a handful of crucial US insurers are lagging behind.

So far, 29 companies have been forced to say no to insuring the project.
We have to make sure no company will ever insure EACOP:

John,

One leak from the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) could poison the
water of Africa’s largest lake that 40 million people depend on for food,
farming and their livelihoods.

This is an unmitigated environmental disaster.

Relentless mobilization from Ekō members, activists and communities on the
frontline has forced a total of 29 companies to stop insuring this
devastating project. This is great news- without insurance, no pipeline!

But on our list, US insurers Liberty Mutual, Chubb, Travelers and AIG
are still lagging behind.

And that could change quickly: companies are dropping out of the project
one after the other. This is our moment to put pressure on these insurers
and show them people around the world won't back down until they drop
EACOP once and for all:

[ [link removed] ]Tell Liberty Mutual, Chubb, Travelers and AIG to drop EACOP and insure
our future instead!

TotalEnergies’ destructive pipeline has already displaced tens of
thousands of people and if built would endanger water resources for
millions of people and wildlife, like elephants, giraffes, lions and
leopards. We can’t let oil giant TotalEnergies and its insurers get away
with destroying livelihoods and our future.

Up until now, insurers have largely been able to rake in record profits
and avoid being held accountable for their role in enabling destruction.
But this ends NOW. No more hiding in the shadows. You, John,
can help call out the other insurers lagging behind and bring them into
the light.

A powerful network of over 260 organizations are working relentlessly to
convince insurers around the world to rule out supporting this disastrous
project. And we are nearly there.

Thousands of Ekō members like you mass emailed one of the biggest
supporters of the project, Munich Re, and got them to pull out. This has
set a precedent and 5 other insurers have since backed out. Let’s keep
applying pressure and make sure this climate wrecking project never sees
the light of the day.

disastrous project!
