Kathleen - This is your last chance to send our petition to publishers, asking them to stand up to Resolute Forest Products' assault on free speech and intact forests. When Resolute Forest Products took the axe to some of Canada's most magnificent forest areas — Greenpeace called them out. Now it wants to shut us down. Resolute is suing Greenpeace for over $300 million to force us into silence. This is one fight we won't win alone. We need allies. We need support from the major publishing companies who are Resolute's customers. That's where you come in. Shine a light on Resolute's unjust attacks. Sign our message to the publishing industry, including some of Resolute's biggest paper customers, asking them to stand up for free speech! The deadline for signatures is tomorrow, so we can take your message to Book Expo America — one of the largest publishing industry gatherings in the world. Your voice will help us convince publishers to stand up for free speech and forests. We have 301,768 signatures already. Please help us reach our goal of 500,000 signatures by adding your name today! Publishers like Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette all source paper from Resolute. So, we're asking them to call on Resolute to produce book paper without harming intact forests or threatened wildlife habitat, and to urge the logging corporation to stop attacking free speech. The publishing industry depends on free speech, so it is well positioned to be allies in this fight. Please call on them to stand with us. For forests and free speech, Amy Moas, Ph.D. Senior Forest Campaigner, Greenpeace USA P.S. We cannot allow a destructive corporate giant to intimidate us. If Resolute Forest Products wins its lawsuit against Greenpeace, it will threaten our ability to advocate for forest protection anywhere in the world. We need all the help we can get now. Ask the publishing industry to join us in the fight! |
