This morning, we showed up to the Annual Shareholder meeting to call out the role of property & casualty insurers in climate change and make the public cost of climate damage visible.

Across the country, climate disasters are making it harder for families to afford or even keep home insurance. Premiums are rising. Coverage is shrinking. Communities that are already carrying the heaviest burdens are being asked to pay again.

Here in Connecticut, we know the insurance industry well. We are the “Insurance Capital of the World.” That means we also have a responsibility to lead.

Property and casualty insurers know climate chaos is here. They warn about the rising risks of floods, storms, fires, and extreme weather. Then, at the same time, major insurers keep investing in and underwriting fossil fuel projects that make those disasters worse.

Advocates will continue to make the public cost of Travelers investments visible, and continue the work to hold these companies accountable in the 2027 Connecticut legislative session.

From the first CT Bottle Bill passed in 1978 to this year’s stronger protections, Rep. Mushinsky’s leadership has helped keep Connecticut moving toward cleaner communities. CCAG was proud to fight alongside Mary then, and we are proud to celebrate with her now.

——-

Today is this last day of legislative session and the clock is running out.

In 2024, Connecticut voters passed the Constitutional amendment to implement "no-excuse" absentee voting. This session, H.B. 5001 is the implementation bill for this voting reform.

Senator Rob Sampson has done everything in his power to talk this bill to death and deny the will of CT voters.

Call out Senator Sampson for refusing to listen to his constituents and make sure that HB 5001 is passed by the end of today!
