The ILF is not just a catchy name, It stands for Insurance Leadership Forum, which is exactly the place you would try to be if you wanted to influence all insurance leaders simultaneous. Hence, a genius strategy was cooked up by climate activists Colorado with the Rainforest Action Network and 350Colorado who took the stage, and disrupted the forum with very a important message: “Methane is Malicious.”

   Protesters outside carried signs which read, ‘Wildfires brought to you by Liberty Mutual, Travelers, and Chubb” and “Code Red Climate Emergency.”

Protester Robin Guthrie said, “The Waldo Canyon fire we survived caused over 80,000 to evacuate, and affected the access to my home for years- the stress from the fire continued as we struggled to find insurance and coverage for the long-term impacts from flooding that followed the fires.” Robin said, “Insurers offer fewer and fewer options for homeowner’s insurance policies while insuring fossil fuel expansion projects that cause homes in Colorado to be destroyed by fire and flood.”

The protest was organized by Rainforest Action Network and 350Colorado
