Insure Our Future Birmingham May 2024

Insure Our Future Birmingham May 2024

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!
