Hi John,
There's no sugarcoating it: our movement is under attack.
Our ally, Greenpeace, just lost a $660 million lawsuit against Big Oil1. Energy Transfer, an oil and gas giant that operates the Dakota Access Pipeline on Indigenous land in North Dakota, sued Greenpeace for their support of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's peaceful protests against the pipeline.
Big Oil is trying to silence the climate justice movement with lawsuits. But we’re stronger than this. We don’t give up.
Today more than ever, our friends at Greenpeace need to see words of support and solidarity pouring in from all over the world, to stay strong in this critical fight. John, can you share a message of support using your social media accounts now?
You can also write your own solidarity message and share it using your favorite social media platform. Use #ImWithGreenpeace to help the message spread.
This is not just about Greenpeace. This case is meant to make people afraid. It's meant to make peaceful protest against injustice and greed seem too risky. It threatens everyone's right to peacefully protest — a right at the very foundation of the climate justice movement.
But we’re not going to let Big Oil bully us into silence. This is why, John, we must speak up together now. Can you stand in solidarity with Greenpeace and share a message?
If you don’t use these apps, you can also record your own video to share your support with Greenpeace on Instagram or TikTok. Start the video with “I am with Greenpeace because…”, and make sure to tag @Greenpeace and #ImWithGreenpeace
We’ve proven this time and again: our movement is strongest when we stand together with our allies. Please take a moment today to stand with Greenpeace staff, members and supporters, in this difficult time.
Thank you,
Anne Jellema, Executive Director, and the whole 350.org team
