 | | | | This is great, Kathleen: | | After we emailed yesterday about the risks of Energy Transfer's lawsuit, grassroots climate champions like you stepped up! We're now just 8.3% away from our critical $50,000 end-of-month goal — but even being this close, up against this expensive of a lawsuit, we can't afford to lose the momentum. | | If you read our last message, then you know what's at stake. (And if you didn't, we're forwarding it below.) We're laser-focused on saving both our planet and the First Amendment rights at the heart of our movement — and we have our work cut out for us. | | So please, don't let Big Oil drown us out. Answer the call ahead of Thursday's midnight deadline and rush a gift of $20 or more to help us reach our $50,000 goal! | | | | For people, the planet, and the right to protest for both, | | Greenpeace USA | | | | | | |

Subject: [ENCLOSED] Facts Big Oil doesn't want you to know |
| | | .png) | | By now, you know that Energy Transfer (ET), the oil company behind the Dakota Access Pipeline, is suing Greenpeace USA for $300 million under the false and racist claim we masterminded the 2016-17 Indigenous-led Standing Rock resistance. | | But we have to ask, Kathleen: do you fully understand what's at stake if the court sides with Big Oil in February? | | If you do, you can contribute toward our $50,000 October goal here — but if not, here's what you need to know: | | 1. The lawsuit claims our unapologetic solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux, and our public criticism of the pipeline, makes us the leaders of a sprawling conspiracy to bring ET to its knees — and for that alone, we must pay.
2. ET would have you think that calling out the impacts of their greedy business model amounts to advancing an "extremist agenda," when it's simply what science demands and what our planet deserves.
3. We did NOT organize or direct the Standing Rock protest. But if you take ET's word for it, our vocal, unapologetic support for the peaceful protesters who were involved is enough to point the blame at us for everything that happened, under a toxic new standard of "collective liability." | | So if the Court awards Energy Transfer the $300 MILLION judgment they're after, it won't just be Greenpeace USA that suffers the effects — it'll establish a basis that entitles Big Oil bullies to legally silence anybody who speaks out for the planet or the people they harm. | | But while our vision is bold and our actions are daring, our agenda is not extremist, Kathleen: so we can't take the easy way out. Too much — from the future of our right to protest to the green, liveable future of our planet — is at stake to back down. | | But the entire point of lawsuits like this is to draw out expenses so much that defendants literally can't afford to fight back. So before our October 31 deadline, we need your help to reach our $50,000 goal and sustain the fight for our future and our First Amendment rights. | | Will you please rush $10, $20, or your best gift now to help us stay afloat? | If you've saved your payment information with FastAction, your donation will go through immediately: | | Greenpeace USA | | | | | | |
| Big Oil is suing Greenpeace USA. We need your help to fight back and keep this movement alive — for people, and for our planet. | | | Greenpeace USA
