John -
The world’s longest heated crude oil pipeline is one step closer to being built – all because one of the most powerful U.S. insurance brokers, Marsh, is backing it.
If built, the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), would devastate communities in Tanzania and Uganda. But if we can stop the project from getting insured, we can stop it from being built.
We know that public pressure works. Last week, it was confirmed that Marsh ended its relationship with another deadly fossil fuel project: the Adani coal mine in Australia1. It’s time for Marsh to drop EACOP too.
That’s where you come in, John.
The good news is that Marsh staff are on our side. Over 100 signed a letter to the company telling their bosses to drop EACOP.2
Through inside knowledge, we know that Marsh has an internal leadership event on sustainability this week where EACOP is sure to come up.
We’re aiming to send hundreds of letters directly to Marsh’s leaders to support the staff who have come out against the project and make sure their bosses know they’re not alone.
Will you stand in solidarity with them?
Marsh has made lots of commitments and talks a good game when it comes to climate, but if they insure this project – all of their words are just greenwashing.
The climate crisis is here and it’s simply immoral to be building more pipelines – especially in one of the regions most impacted.
Communities across Africa are calling for this project to be canceled, and the climate movement across the globe is standing in solidarity. So far, over 16,000 people have signed our petition calling on Marsh to drop EACOP.
Now let’s make sure they know we’ll keep up the pressure until they do the right thing. Please send a letter directly to these three executives today. Your message will be delivered immediately.
Thank you for taking action. Together, I know we can win.
