This is shameful, John.
Right now, insurance giant American International Group (AIG) is planning to insure the disastrous East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP). At the same time, AIG is refusing to insure homes in states impacted by increasing climate disasters, like California and Florida.1
It’s insurance brokers, like AIG, that are making the climate crisis worse by enabling the fossil fuel industry to damage our planet. Now, they’re targeting people in climate-vulnerable communities to protect their bottom line.
That’s why today, our climate movement is gathering at the AIG office in New York City. Over 5,000 people already signed our petition demanding the insurance giant drop EACOP in Uganda and Tanzania. Which, if built, would be a devastating carbon bomb that would make climate disasters worse everywhere.
The last thing AIG wants is bad press. So, we’re ramping up the pressure and exposing them on social media for all their customers to see.
If we can cut off EACOP’s insurance, we can stop the disastrous pipeline before the oil starts flowing. Can you join us in this urgent push to demand AIG drop EACOP? All you have to do is click here!
The truth is that AIG and other U.S. insurance companies have a long history of funding dirty projects around the world, continuing a system of colonialism and exploitation.
Climate-wrecking pipelines like EACOP destroy our planet, and vulnerable communities like those in the United States and across the globe are left to shoulder the burden of being the most impacted by the climate crisis.
We all share one planet, John. That’s why, to protect our future, our movement has successfully pressured 28 insurance brokers to drop this pipeline — and now we need your help to get AIG to do the same.
Click here to tweet at AIG and tell them to drop EACOP!
In solidarity,
Nico for 350.org
