@SenWhitehouse has a message for them.

If you guessed coal, you guessed right. AIG remains the largest coal insurer outside of China, even after major investor @LGIM dropped AIG because of its coal underwriting.

Citizens in Boston, Connecticut &Glasgow took to the streets to call out @AIGinsurance @LibertyMutual & @Travelers for continuing to support coal, oil & gas expansion and the violation of Indigenous rights around the world.

Citizen’s groups, US senators, UN Secretary General @antonioguterres & Indigenous leaders all have the same message for insurance companies: stop driving climate chaos, and #InsureOurFuture instead.
