Help us welcome the new CT Insurance Commissioner!
Josh Hershman has just been appointed as the new CID Commissioner. We are looking forward to working with him on issues around the insurance industry and their ties to fossil fuels.
Overwhelmingly, we have seen insurance commissioners around the country chose to abdicate their public duty in order to rewrite rules to favor insurance companies, leading to historic industry profits and CEO pay and a trillion dollar industry surplus, while stripping people’s access to the judicial system, spiking rates, and denying coverage to millions of Americans. Here in Connecticut, we must set the tone and make sure that we move the industry towards a just clean energy transition. Send Commissioner Hershman a letter letting him know that we are counting on him to be our watchdog who holds the industry to account. |
Say No to AT&T Until They Stop Contracting with ICE!
Sign the petition today!
We are holding AT&T accountable and demanding they end harmful practices. The Trump administration couldn’t perpetrate a sustained attack on our communities without support from corporations who contract with them for services and infrastructure. When we refuse to buy or upgrade any AT&T products or plans this holiday season until AT&T stops contracting with ICE, we make it more costly for them to provide services to agencies harming our communities. AT&T has had multimillion-dollar contracts with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE and CBP are terrorizing our communities. ICE has not only been terrorizing immigrants; they have also targeted Black communities with violence and violations of their constitutional and civil rights. Their actions harm all of us. No one is safe when masked, armed, and badgeless government agents can drive armored vehicles around our neighborhoods, taking people off the street and from front yards, childcare centers, and school grounds, sometimes throwing tear gas canisters in our neighborhoods. Sign the People's Action petition and make your voice heard! |
