DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/actionar-targeting-
 liberty-mutual/\n\nJoin this ACTIONAR\, an interactive webinar where we wi
 ll act together and target Liberty Mutual\, a major fossil fuel insurer th
 at is insuring projects like tar sands pipelines\, coal mines\, and fracki
 ng wells.\n\nYou'll meet JAY HOOLEY\, a board member of Liberty Mutual and
  ExxonMobil. While Exxon plans for 80% more oil production by 2024\, Liber
 ty has started ditching fossil fuels by phasing out existing coverage to s
 ome coal companies by 2023. However\, Liberty needs to do much\, much more
 ! They need to close the loopholes on their coal policy\, rule out insuran
 ce for tar sands\, completely phase out fossil fuels from their investment
  and underwriting portfolio\, stop insuring projects that are being built 
 without the consent of impacted communities\, and adopt a policy to respec
 t Indigenous rights.\n\nJay Hooley is holding Liberty back on being a bett
 er climate leader. When Jay was CEO of State Street\, he and Liberty both 
 lobbied to expand fracked gas pipelines in Massachusetts. And guess who is
  on the board of Eversource\, a top gas supplier in the state? Yup\, Liber
 ty Mutual’s CEO David Long. \n\nTogether\, we will email and call Jay\, 
 David and other members of Liberty Mutual’s Board of Directors and the m
 anagement team. This Actionar is the day before their annual policyholder 
 meeting on April 8. It will be very timely to let Liberty know that they n
 eed to step up as a real climate leader in the insurance industry and take
  strong action on climate change\, fossil fuels\, tar sands\, and Indigeno
 us rights. \n\nAs a mutual company\, Liberty Mutual is owned by its policy
 holders. So anyone with a homeowners\, renters\, or car insurance policy t
 echnically has a voice in governing the company and can typically vote at 
 the annual policyholder meeting. This year’s meeting will be held virtua
 lly\, and the company is stifling policyholder voices and not letting peop
 le speak up with questions and concerns during the meeting. \n\nRegister f
 or this Actionar [here](https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYsfuuuqDktxlcbO

 ry is ignoring science and continuing to fund the climate crisis.
