As I write this John, Greenpeace is under attack globally like never before. 

Right now, our colleagues in Italy, the USA, and here in the UK are all targets of intimidation lawsuits from oil giants. Strategically deployed with one aim: silence anyone brave enough to stand up to their planet-wrecking business.

It’s an outrage that multi-billion dollar companies are suing non-profits. Let’s be clear – ​​​​​​it’s not about the money. Shell makes the $1 million they are suing us for every half an hour. It’s because we’re confronting them and threatening their ability to recklessly profit from destruction.

Will you show Shell and Big Oil that we won’t back down? We need to make up an urgent funding shortfall so we can challenge these oil giants in court. Will you be part of the resistance against Big Oil?

This marks an unprecedented moment in Greenpeace’s history. 

Big Oil’s relentless attack on our mission to safeguard our planet is intensifying, so we urgently need to build an even stronger resistance.

Big Oil bullies are tightening their grip, ruthlessly trying to silence the voices of environmental organisations speaking out against them so they can continue their greedy pursuit of profit. But there’s something they’re forgetting: you and me, John.

For more than 50 years people like us have refused to back down when powerful forces threaten our natural world and jeopardise our future.

We won’t stop until they stop.

Now we just need to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight their bullying tactics – if everyone reading this gave just a little, we’d hit our target by the end of the day. Will you donate?

Yours in solidarity,

Ian Duff 

Global Lead on Greenpeace's Stop Drilling, Start Paying campaign.

P.S. URGENT: John, we’re £250K short of our £1 million target. Act now and donate to help stop Shell from suing us into silence.

We don't accept any money from companies or governments so we can be independent and challenge anyone who threatens the planet or peace. To help us keep fighting climate change, defending our oceans and protecting ancient forests, you can become a monthly supporter today. Thank you.
