From the streets to social media, we need your voices and creativity to make sure these companies know that we will resist their support of any carbon bomb, especially #EACOP.

Insure Our Survival - Extinction Rebellion UK

The Extinction Rebellion Insure Our Survival campaign focuses non-violent direct action on a weak spot in the fossil fuel industry - insurance.

Extinction Rebellion UK
Extinction Rebellion to insurers: “Insure our survival”

Weeklong protests held across the UK

#XRExeter marched in #Exeter today for #InsureOurSurvival: a campaign asking the insurance industry to stop insuring #FossilFuel projects and make them have to pay in full for the damage they cause

This #Halloween, we are really terrified about:
* climate breakdown
* flash floods
* heatwaves
* drought
* famine
* armed conflict over dwindling resources

That's why this week we have been to the biggest insurers of fossil fuel projects, including Lloyds of London (the world's largest insurer of fossil fuels), AIG (a leading insurer of US coal), and Howden, to tell them to stop enabling climate destruction.

#InsureOurSurvival

Just 20 companies insure 70% of fossil fuel projects and a large number of these companies are based in the UK, mostly in the City of London.

Without insurance, major oil and gas projects would not be able to operate.

Today, rebels from Oxford joined groups from across the country at the doorstop of the companies enabling climate destruction. We'll keep up the pressure until fossil fuels are uninsurable!
