Tank cars are STILL transporting crude oil along the Columbia River. In the event of an accident, the damages will be catastrophic and irreversible, poisoning the waters and communities that depend on it. We must stop depending on fossil fuels ASAP.

Today in Washington, facilities like oil refineries, marine terminals, and pipelines, termed Class 1 facilities, are not required to have financial responsibility coverage.
We need to make sure oil companies pay for their own oil spills.

Two full oil trains go over this bridge on Swinomish land every day. We cannot wait for more tragedy to stop these risks. #SUTO

350Hawaii stands in solidarity with local communities fighting to #StopTMX. Because of the risks & impacts of the massive tar sands oil pipeline, 18 insurers have ruled out coverage for Trans Mountain.
@LibertyMutual, all eyes are on you: #LibertyDropTMX.

We're calling on @LibertyMutual to stop funding climate chaos and the violation of Indigenous rights, and NOT renew #TMX coverage when their policy expires on Aug 31st. 18 insurers have already recognized the risk & cut ties. It's the smart and right thing to do! #LibertyDropTMX

Petition delivered! ☑️ Huge shout out to this amazing group who delivered over 250k signatures calling on @LibertyMutual to drop Trans Mountain! #LibertyDropTMX #StopTMX #InsureOurFuture
