| Kathleen,
Laws restricting protest. Politicians like Donald Trump attacking the media. Corporations suing anyone that disagrees with them. The freedom to speak out and organize for our communities and planet is under assault! Rather than face public criticism for logging intact ancient forests, Resolute Forest Products is attempting to sue Greenpeace into silence. We won't let Resolute take away our voice — or yours — but we need you to stand with us more than ever. Will you help us raise $500,000 by June 16 to mobilize for free speech, the Boreal forest, and all our work to protect the environment? Resolute's meritless lawsuits demanding more than $300 million Canadian dollars — one filed in the U.S. by the same predatory law firm employed by Donald Trump, and the other filed in Canada — are aimed at tying us up in court and distracting us from crucial work. And if Resolute wins, Greenpeace's offices could be forced to close down. We can't let that happen. Corporations and politicians with big war chests would be emboldened to file more lawsuits to silence individuals, scientists, and nonprofits like Greenpeace that expose issues they would rather keep hidden. You, me and everyone struggling for a better future could suffer. So let's not let Resolute win. With you by our side, we'll ensure our movement for green, peaceful and just communities becomes more powerful than ever. Thanks for all you do, Amy Moas, Ph.D.

Kathleen, Greenpeace offices could be forced to shut down. No more exposing polluters. No more bold actions to stop environmental crimes.
Right now, Resolute Forest Products, a multi-billion-dollar logging company, has targeted Greenpeace offices in a series of meritless lawsuits in order to silence us, our supporters, and forest defenders like Stand.earth.
It's sickening. The aim is to overwhelm us in litigation, peeling away our focus and resources from environmental fights, by tying us up in court.
Help us raise $500,000 by Friday, June 16 by making a gift today to defend ourselves, free speech, and the Boreal forest — and support all of our crucial work to protect the environment.
Honestly, this simultaneous attack on forests and our free speech feels like a punch in the gut.
Greenpeace — alongside thousands of supporters like you — has successfully campaigned for years to protect Canada's Boreal forest. We've helped some of the world's largest corporations — like Kimberly Clark, the makers of Kleenex — adopt strong forest policies that respect the rights of Indigenous Peoples and crucial wildlife habitat.
But rather than face criticism, Resolute attacked Greenpeace shortly after we exposed operations that threaten precious wildlife and ancient forests
Kathleen, don't be silenced! Will you give generously today so we can continue to protect the Boreal and do all our work for the environment?
These absurd lawsuits — filed in the US and Canada and together demanding more than $300 million Canadian dollars — are an almost laughable response to public criticism, but this is serious. It's not just about our work to protect the Boreal Forest, it's a well-funded and planned assault on Greenpeace — with every intention to silence us.
I love Greenpeace. I love forests. And I love our freedom to speak out and organize for what I hold dear. I won't let Resolute take that away from you and me. But I can't do that without you by our side, Kathleen.
Donate today!
Thanks for all you do,
Molly Dorozenski
Communications Director, Greenpeace USA
P.S. Greenpeace is under attack! We need to raise $500,000 by Friday, June 16 to help defend free speech, protect the Boreal forest and fight back against Resolute Forest Product's meritless lawsuits — and continue all of our work to create a green, peaceful and just world. Give generously today! |
