Insurance giant Liberty is a huge backer of tar sands pipelines, and has not ruled out support for Arctic drilling—two sectors that spell disaster for Indigenous rights and the climate. As a top global oil and gas insurer and investor with billions invested in fossil fuels, Liberty is complicit in the destruction of waterways and sacred land.
All oil and gas projects need one thing : insurance coverage. Without insurance, new tar sands pipelines, Arctic drilling rigs, and oil refineries cannot be built, and existing projects cannot continue to operate. Massive pipelines like Trans Mountain and Line 3 would transport crude tar sands oil from Canada, unleashing a massive dirty carbon bomb on the planet, violating treaties with Indigenous communities, and polluting sacred lands and waterways. But they are facing powerful Indigenous and grassroots resistance right now.
We must move in solidarity with Indigenous communities by holding the insurers of these destructive projects accountable. We must continue to pressure Liberty Mutual to listen to the demands made by Indigenous leaders and stop supporting rights-violating, dangerous fossil fuel infrastructure. Keep fighting, Candelaria Vargas, Daily Kos.
