We Will Not Be Silenced: Virtual Town Hall on Protecting Our Right to Protest and Dissent
Remember the historic protests at Standing Rock?
Learn how that same pipeline corporation is STILL trying to punish those who dared speak out against it – and how this “SLAPP” lawsuit affects YOUR right to protest.
Join Greenpeace USA and the Protect the Protest coalition for a town hall on protecting activists from abusive lawsuits. Learn about the frivolous lawsuit filed against Greenpeace USA by Energy Transfer, the company behind the Dakota Access pipeline, for allegedly orchestrating the entire resistance movement at Standing Rock.
It isn’t just Greenpeace USA’s future that’s at stake, this is an existential threat to the social justice movement writ large. These lawsuits are attempts to intimidate any organization or individual who dares to speak out against bad corporate practices that threaten the environment, people’s livelihoods or human rights.
