On 17 May Warwick District rebels caught the early train to Birmingham to picket insurance companies alongside other XR groups, as part of the Insure our Future campaign.
We met at 7:30 AM in Victoria Square before dispersing to a variety of insurance companies greeting workers with messages about the insurance industries complicity in climate change, backed by drums. This was followed by marching across the city and a hearty brunch.
This campaign calls on all insurers to stop insuring new fossil fuel projects. It has had recent success: Probitas has ruled out insuring the East African Crude Oil Pipeline and the proposed West Cumbria coal mine. Protestor pressure works!
