John,
Energy Transfer, the corporation behind the notorious Dakota Access Pipeline, is waging a war on Greenpeace with a staggering $300 million lawsuit. Their aim? To bankrupt Greenpeace and silence anyone who dares to stand in the way of corporate greed and environmental destruction. This is a blatant attack on free speech, peaceful protest, and our right to hold big corporations accountable.
This lawsuit stems from the 2016 Standing Rock protests, where Indigenous water protectors and allies, like Greenpeace, stood bravely against the pipeline's construction. Now, Energy Transfer is trying to rewrite history, claiming that Greenpeace, not the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, was responsible for these protests. It’s an outrageous distortion of the truth and an insult to everyone who fought to protect our water and our planet.
But this lawsuit is more than just a corporate vendetta. It’s part of a broader and dangerous strategy -- Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) -- designed to intimidate and drain the resources of advocacy organizations.
These SLAPPs are becoming the weapon of choice for corporations trying to shut down dissent, and if Energy Transfer wins, it will set a terrifying precedent for the future of activism.
We can’t let that happen. We need Greenpeace’s voice in the fight against climate change and environmental destruction now more than ever. And if Energy Transfer silences them, who’s next? Take a stand with us. Tell Energy Transfer to drop their $300 million lawsuit now!
Greenpeace has been a key ally in the global fight against climate change, and their efforts have helped shift the tide on environmental policy. But this lawsuit threatens to cripple their ability to continue this vital work.
And the lawsuit isn’t about silencing Greenpeace alone, it’s about silencing all of us who stand for a clean, sustainable future. If Energy Transfer succeeds, it will open the floodgates for more corporations to use SLAPPs to stifle public opposition.
By standing with Greenpeace today, you’re standing for the future of our planet. You’re defending the right to protest, the right to organize, and the right to a livable climate. We won’t be bullied into submission. We won’t stand by while corporate behemoths try to crush those who are fighting for the health of our planet.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. By supporting Greenpeace at this moment, you’re protecting your rights to speak out against injustice and corporate exploitation.
Our planet is not for sale, and neither are our rights. Join us in demanding that Energy Transfer drop this $300 million lawsuit against Greenpeace and stop trying to intimidate environmental defenders into silence.
Together, we can protect our right to protest and secure a future where corporations answer to the people, not the other way around.
