NO NEW LNG! ACTION NEEDED. (RAINFOREST ACTION NETWORK)

 

Dear friend, We’re in the midst of the biggest fossil fuel build out of our lifetimes – and your bank or insurance company could be making it happen. How? Because all fossil fuel projects need 3 things: money, insurance, and permits. Banks and insurance companies are using your money to invest in a massive boom of methane gas (aka so-called liquefied "natural" gas or LNG) export terminals across the US Gulf South.1 With just a few years left to limit the worst impacts of climate chaos – it’s past time they use their power to support a just transition to sustainable energy systems. Sign our petition demanding they do just that! Sign the petition Confronting CERAWeek | Photo Credit: Fenceline Watch Every fossil fuel project harms communities both near and far — causing pollution and climate disasters.There are currently 3 large LNG terminals in Southwest Louisiana — that means toxic chemicals like arsenic, benzene, formaldehyde, lead and mercury in people’s backyards — that have already done irreversible harm to local communities and wildlife.2 CP2, CP3 & Plaquemines LNG are 3 more LNG expansion projects planned for the same area. Recently, major financial institutions like Bank of America, JPMorgan, PNC, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, Barclays, MUFG, and Mizuho provided a combined $8.6 BILLION of financing for CP2 to be finished.3 This makes it even more imperative that we show up for those most impacted by LNG infrastructure. We know that protecting the Gulf and our shared climate starts with protecting the rights of the people who live there — the fenceline and Indigenous communities fighting on the frontlines of fossil fuel expansion. That’s why we joined with community members to confront CERAWeek – aka the Super Bowl of oil and gas conferences – where fossil fuel companies, banks, and politicians gather to make decisions about the future of fossil fuels behind closed doors. Join in making an impact by taking action in solidarity with the communities most affected by climate and the financial crisis. Tell these companies the Gulf is not a sacrifice zone. Add your name While communities suffer, these LNG companies stand to make windfall profits off the war in the Persian Gulf.4 Climate change isn’t just a carbon problem — it’s an economic problem. Investors and insurers must invest in the long-term health of our planet and communities. But we know how to shake these companies. When we speak up, corporations listen. Let’s make sure they hear us loud and clear.
