Many insurers protect deadly industries driving climate chaos, the genocide in Gaza & border violence. Without insurance, destructive companies would be unable to operate. These same insurers underwrite our communities. We can pressure our institutions to boycott bloody insurance

In the report (which she cited our research in boycottbloodyinsurance.org/report-ensur...) , Albanese mentioned insurers such as Allianz and AXA as active participants in the 'joint criminal enterprise of genociding Palestinians'.

Ensuring Genocide - Boycott Bloody Insurance

We expose insurance companies ties to genocide of the Palestinian people, by insuring and investing in the companies arming Israel.
