Why Insurance is Winnable (ie. Getting 100s of Millions of tonnes of CO2 cancelled)

Save the Date: 28th October 2024

Come and find out more from activists and insurance insiders. Get your questions answered, and hear the plans for actions starting 28th in London and UK wide. We need you, and you can have a massive impact!

In the UK London is where we can make the biggest impact, which is why we need everyone who can to be there. A major chunk of the global insurance industry is concentrated in the City of London, so here we can potentially make impacts that ripple across the globe!

So if you can join us to maximise pressure at the global heart of the beast - London - please do so, even for a day, and help us get even more carbon bombs cancelled. n Calls to learn more and get involved with various actions around the UK.

But if you can't get down to London don't despair, there are dozens of actions happening across the country on 1st-2nd March, (and more are being added by the day, so check the map more than once!), and Digital Rebellion has a whole campaign that you can join in from home!

**Insurance is the Achilles heel of the global fossil fuel industry**. It’s what gives companies such as Shell, BP and Exxonmobil the confidence to drill as the planet burns - by covering their operations against financial losses when things go wrong.

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

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.

Messaging Pack contains

• links to websites and social media accounts of groups involved
• hashtags to use and follow
• ideas for messaging on banners
• design colour scheme
• information on the alliances behind the actions
• three special demands for these actions
• countdown to action social media plan

Flyers

Download flyers for use in the upcoming Insure Our Future week of action.

On the link above you will find one design- "R&N flyer", which features only one-page, allowing the back side of the page to be your own local content if needs be. The other two were designed for use at the London actions (26-29th Feb), but can be altered for local use if you have someone locally who knows how to use design software.
