SLAPP

 

THEY WANT US TO BE SILENT. Corporate bullies abuse the legal system to silence the truth. They use intimidating lawsuits, also known as SLAPP lawsuits – such as the case that led to a staggering $345 million in damages against Greenpeace International and Greenpeace in the US – to silence anyone who stands up for the public interest. You cannot protect the planet if polluting companies like Energy Transfer, Shell, and Eni are given the chance to turn the courtroom into a playground for corporate bullies. They want to make the price of speaking out so high that ordinary people become too afraid to take the risk. Javier Bardem and Yasmin Finney have joined forces with the Greenpeace network to expose this tactic. We are not just defending a movement; we are defending our collective right to resist. We cannot afford to remain silent if we do not want to lose that right – watch, save, and share this video.
