PRESSURING BANKS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Last week, Chubb confirmed to a Financial Times reporter that it will not provide coverage for any tar sands projects, becoming the 16th insurer to drop the Trans Mountain pipeline.
I can’t overstate how big this is. Chubb is the world’s largest publicly traded property and casualty insurer, and its decision to cut ties with the tar sands is not only a major blow for Trans Mountain – but all future tar sands projects trying to get off the ground.
Want to help make sure bank executives get the message? Send an email to Wall Street leaders to demand they Defund Climate Chaos by the start of the COP26 climate talks on November 1st in Glasgow, Scotland.

Civil Action Team – CAT – Connecting with Legislators and demanding that effective Climate Legislation be passed in Washington State!
Want to get involved in advocating for scientifically sound and socially equitable climate policy in Washington state?
Want to join a meaningful and accessible volunteer campaign that supports your growth, learning, and leadership development as an advocate for climate justice?
Last year our volunteer-powered team successfully mobilized people across Washington to take a collective total of over 18,000 climate policy advocacy actions in the 2021 legislative session. This year, we’re focusing more than ever on building an accessible and equitable community where volunteers can develop the organizing and leadership skills it takes to do sound and just policy advocacy work.
The 350 WA Civic Action Team is a volunteer-powered climate policy advocacy campaign that works to keep justice at the core of everything we do. With a focus on strengthening community partnerships, our mission is to educate and empower people to advocate in the WA state legislature to pass strong, sound, and just climate policy.
Join our Official 350 WA Civic Action Team Volunteer Campaign Launch on Wednesday, September 29th @ 6:30pm
