Hey John,

In the midst of the global pandemic, TC Energy is moving ahead with
construction of Keystone XL.

Just last week, the Promise to Protect coalition delivered over 45,000
petition signatures to the Governor of Montana urging him to halt
construction activity of the cross-border section of the Keystone XL
pipeline. Thousands of you signed knowing that families and local
communities are suffering due to COVID-19. But while most of our country
is sheltering in place and bracing for the emotional and economic fallout
of this crisis, TC Energy (fka Transcanada) got the green light to move
forward with construction and bring workers into Indigenous and rural
communities with limited access to health resources. 

TC Energy confirmed what we already knew by bringing workers in to build
“man camps” and starting construction during this pandemic: they value
their profit over people. We didn’t think TC Energy could be more evil,
but this is greed taken to a whole new level. Now more than ever, we have
to keep hitting TC Energy where it hurts by stopping insurance companies
that are enabling construction of Keystone XL. Liberty Mutual, you are up
next. 

[ [link removed] ]Will you join our fight to stop Liberty Mutual from insuring
destructive tar sands projects like Keystone XL?

Fossil fuel projects need three things to continue wreaking havoc:
political support, financial backing, and insurance. Liberty Mutual has
already provided a $15.6 million dollar bond to cover construction risks
in South Dakota along the route. Not only does Liberty Mutual insure
Keystone XL, but they also have at least 8.9 billion dollars invested in
tar sands projects with fossil fuel companies. 

We’ve won this fight for the last 12 years by targeting the federal
government, state government, following frontline Indigenous leadership
and working together. We’re going after TC Energy, the financial backers,
state governments, and any bank, politician, and insurance company who
plays a critical role in trying to build Keystone XL.

[ [link removed] ]Tell Liberty Mutual to stop insuring the Keystone XL Pipeline and all
tar sands projects immediately. 

Insurance companies are meant to protect us from risk, but Liberty Mutual
is protecting TC Energy’s climate destroying pipeline instead. If we can
put enough pressure on Liberty Mutual to stop insuring all tar sands
projects like Keystone XL, that’s one more step toward a fossil free
future.

[ [link removed] ]Stand with us against the tar sands.

Until we win,

Nkenge Abidemi
