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.
