But we're not backing down.

 | | |  | | BREAKING NEWS, Kathleen — | | Today, Greenpeace USA is in a California federal courtroom defending itself against a bogus lawsuit leveled by one of Canada's largest logging companies. We're being targeted simply for publicly challenging the company's forestry practices. This suit has nothing to do with recovering damages — their goal is to silence us, and anyone else thinking of speaking truth to power in defense of our Earth. | | We know that when a bully comes at you, you can't back down — so we will fight this case until the end, should the judge allow it to move to trial. And our fight does not end with this case — we face another similar lawsuit filed by Energy Transfer, the operators of the Dakota Access Pipeline, for uplifting the Indigenous voices at Standing Rock. | | We need your support more than ever to win. Please, Kathleen — will you donate now to help us fight back against corporate bullies and continue our activism for the health of our planet and everyone who calls it home? | | | | We're not afraid of going up against Big Polluters, but this suit is bigger than just us.
SLAPPs, or "Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation," are one of megacorporations' favorite tools to try to silence free speech. You won't even hear about most SLAPP lawsuits because just filing the suit can be enough to silence people who don't have the resources to fight a long, expensive court case. | | That's why we're fighting so hard: not just for Greenpeace, but for everyone who depends on the right to free speech to advocate for a green and just world. It's our right to demand that wealthy companies stop the destruction of our one and only planet. And just two days before Earth Day, facing a challenge from a huge company, we cannot afford to back down. | | We're going to raise our voices, louder than ever, for the planet and the people who call it home. But Greenpeace USA is a 100% independent, grassroots-fueled movement — so we need the help of Greenpeacers like you if we're going to come out on top of these lawsuits, which are trying to keep us from solving the real issues facing us and the planet. | | So please, Kathleen — with just a few days until Earth Day, will you please donate right now to support Greenpeace USA in the fight against the corporate bullies destroying our planet and attempting to silence anyone who dares to call them out? | | | | When it comes to the wellbeing of our planet, we will never back down from a fight — thank you for standing with us. | | Deepa Padmanabha
