A corporation is suing us – what happens if it wins?

Greenpeace

Kathleen -

Logging corporation Resolute Forest Products is suing Greenpeace to hide its destruction of ancient forests. Help us win this fight!

Help us fight Resolute's lawsuit for the long haul. We need you. Become a monthly donor today!

The stakes have never been higher. Corporate polluters are becoming bolder. And today, reports suggest that Trump may take the disastrous step to withdraw the US from the Paris Climate Agreement1. But people power and a healthy planet can still triumph — we'll never stop fighting back against those who are trying to stop us. Now or ever.

One corporation, Resolute Forest Products, is trying to intimidate Greenpeace into silence after it got caught red-handed. Our investigations showed that it is unsustainably hacking down ancient forests in Canada's Boreal. Instead of changing its ways, Resolute is trying to intimidate us into silence. The corporation is suing us for hundreds of millions of dollars. If we don't fight this lawsuit and win, it will be the end of Greenpeace.

Will you please become a monthly donor right now to fight this unjust, outrageous lawsuit, to protect threatened forests and free speech, and to support all of our campaigns?

Lawsuits are long, expensive battles. We can only sustain our fight with steady support. Many of our supporters are pitching in with small regular gifts, such as $8 a month, so we have resources to rely on. Please join them by signing up for monthly giving today. Greenpeace's future is on the line — along with the rights to free speech, to advocate and protest. It's not just Greenpeace who is a target, but the whole environmental movement and our ability to hold corporations accountable. Can you imagine a world in which we can no longer stand up and defend our forests, oceans, and climate?

If Resolute's lawsuit for $300 million CAD is successful, that sinister vision will be reality. We won't let Resolute silence us but between this legal battle and the nonstop environmental assault from Trump, our resources are stretched thin. We need you in this fight for the long haul, so I hope you'll step up as a monthly donor now.

Thanks so much for being part of Greenpeace,

Annie Leonard
Executive Director, Greenpeace USA

P.S. Resolute wants Greenpeace to be labeled a criminal enterprise under anti-racketeering laws originally created to prosecute the mafia. This is the biggest threat to Greenpeace's existence in our history. We won't allow ourselves to be silenced by a logging corporation or anybody else. Please make your monthly gift today.

100 Books to Save the World

Reading changes minds and changes lives. #100womenauthors #100pocauthors
View this email in your browser
The 100 Women + POC Author Challenge has begun!
 
I've personally been on a mission to read more books by women and people of color.  And then I thought… wouldn't it be fun to invite you all to join me?!
I love reading, and I think it is important to support authors who are women and people of color.  I think it is important to make sure that part of my brain space (prime real estate!) is devoted to ideas from people who are not the dominating white male voices in our society.  It doesn't mean I won't ever read a book again by a white male, I just want to make a concerted effort to read 100 books over the next few months by women and people of color.  
For those of you who take the pledge, here's a GIFT for you!  I've made a free digital download of beautifully illustrated bookplates, available on my website.  Today I am releasing the first set, bookplates #1-20.  Over the next few months I will release the rest of the bookplates in sets of 20, in total there will be 100 bookplates, EACH with a unique illustration by the amazing Aurora Lady (who is a Mexican-American woman of color artist!).  This is to encourage all of us to pay attention to Women and POC Authors – to give our support by buying the book and to give our respect by giving our mental space to the author's ideas in the book.  You can choose any 100 books to read, my own will be quite the mix:  non-fiction, YA fiction, classic, brand new, etc.  Extra credit for getting your books from your local independent book store!

Perhaps you are a woman and/or person of color who is asked, "What can I do to be a better feminist?  What can I do to not be racist?"  You can tell them about this neat challenge to read 100 books by women and people of color.  #100womenauthors and #100pocauthors
May is Asian American heritage month, and I am honored to have been interviewed by Teen Vogue about being an Asian American creative.  Teen Vogue's coverage of politics has been spot-on and very brave.  
Lastly I wanted to let you know that the Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade has been turned into a Pride MARCH this year, June 11th.  There will be sister marches in other parts of the country.  Will you be there?  When I was in high school, there was the GSA - the Gay Straight Alliance, and I was too scared and too "busy" in high school to join as a straight ally.  I want to be better about showing up for causes that may not seem directly my own as an ally - LGBTQ rights, Black Live Matter, etc. because I know how touched I am when people show up for causes that directly affect me.  Ultimately, we are all here to support human rights, and we are all banded together by that.

XOXO,
 .            .

You’re invited Katy: Conversation with Sen. Elizabeth Warren

CREDO action
Persisting with our resistance: Conversation with Sen. Warren

Dear Katy,

We have some awesome news. Progressive champion Sen. Elizabeth Warren is planning to come by and visit the CREDO team tomorrow to engage with our community.

That is right. Mark this down on your calendar now. On Wednesday, May 31, Sen. Warren is joining us for a special conversation with the CREDO team about progressives' ongoing resistance to Donald Trump. We are going to stream the conversation on Facebook Live, and we hope you can join us.

Click here to RSVP. We'll send you an email linking to the conversation right when it starts.

The CREDO community has been relentless in our opposition to Trump. We are fighting his attacks on Muslims, immigrants, women and LGBTQ people. We are demanding an independent investigation into his Russia ties and reported attempts to obstruct justice. We are pushing back on his attempts to shred our social safety net, take away health care from millions of people, suppress the vote and destroy the free internet.

Thanks to our tenacious and persistent activism, the resistance has been working. We have been able to stop or slow down the advancement of the Trump administration's hateful and destructive right-wing agenda on a number of fronts.

Join us tomorrow to hear from Sen. Warren about where we go from here. Click here to RSVP.

We hope you can join us,

Murshed Zaheed, Political Director
CREDO Action from Working Assets
