Contact Treasurer Russell - Hold Connecticut Insurers Accountable

Connecticut’s Key Industry must be held accountable for their role in climate disasters
Wildfires are raging through Los Angeles right now leaving surrounding communities completely devastated.
CT companies like The Hartford, Travelers and WR Berkley all have significant investments and underwriting policies in climate destroying fossil fuel projects.
The carbon pollution from these projects lead to a warmer planet, exacerbating climate conditions that lead to deadly wildfires, hurricanes, floods and other climate-related devastation
As “the insurance capitol of the world”, Connecticut’s key industry should be one of the guiding lights in the rebuilding of devastated communities - after all, that is what property and casualty insurance is for.
Unfortunately, victims in California have seen their homeowners insurance revoked.
The Hartford, a Connecticut based-insurance company, announced they would withdraw from California personal property insurance early last year, now leaving people in the lurch amidst a life-changing catastrophe.
