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