“#Climate activists call on insurers to ditch climate-wrecking #EACOP project”

by Hannah Sharland in @thecanaryuk

“On 30 August, climate activists staged a protest against multiple insurance companies. The coalition of campaigners from #MoneyRebellion, #CoalActionNetwork, #StopEACOP, #ExtinctionRebellion, #StopRosebank, and #JustStopOil demonstrated outside the offices of a series of #Lloyds of London members. They were targeting agents that have refused to rule out insuring the controversial East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP).”

Just back from the #CumbrianCoalMine protest in #Whitehaven. Spoke to many folk and discovered there’s more common ground than we might think.

I’m sure some cracks have been healed today between those for and against the coalmine — not least as locals seem to want *jobs* more than the coalmine itself.

All-in-all, empowering and thought-provoking.

I’ve made sound recordings too, which I’ll share soon…stay tuned!
