John,

A United Nations human rights committee just said Canada needs to stop
construction on the dangerous Trans Mountain Pipeline until it gets Free
Prior and Informed Consent from affected Indigenous communities.

And this is just one of many reasons that Trans Mountain is a terrible
idea. If this pipeline is expanded, it will also lead to climate disaster.
It's also a reckless project that would increase oil tanker traffic by
seven hundred percent, endangering the already struggling Orca whale
population.

AIG, Liberty Mutual and Lloyd’s of London’s insurance contract on the
risky Trans Mountain Pipeline is going to expire in August. Already 18
insurers including Chubb and Zurich have stopped insuring Trans Mountain
since 2019 thanks to pressure by SumOfUs members like you and a coalition
of dedicated groups.

[ [link removed] ]Can you add your name to the 160,000 people who already signed the
petition calling on AIG, Liberty Mutual, and Lloyd’s of London to stop
insuring this planet-wrecking pipeline?

Insurance companies hold the key to stopping this pipeline -- if Trans
Mountain can’t get insurance, it can’t operate. And some of the biggest
insurance companies in the world have already stopped insuring Trans
Mountain because of the pipeline’s effect on the climate.

SumOfUs has forced financial institutions to pull out of dangerous
pipelines before. When over 360,000 members like you signed a petition
calling on major banks to pull the plug on the Dakota Access pipeline
during the heart of the Standing Rock protests, the largest bank in Norway
decided to pull funding the day after we brought your names to their
headquarters.

And together, we can stop the Trans Mountain pipeline too, but only if we
keep the pressure on. Please take action now.

[ [link removed] ]Tell Lloyd’s of London, AIG and Liberty Mutual to stop insuring the
Trans Mountain pipeline now.
