Dear OCCRP Reader:

Strategic lawsuits against public participation — or SLAPPs — are meant to silence, intimidate, and financially burden journalists and media organizations. The OCCRP network is currently facing 41 such lawsuits — but we're fighting back.

I share some thoughts on the issue in the video below.

Please make a contribution to our "OCCRP SLAPPs Back Fund," and help us mount a vigorous defense against these baseless lawsuits.  

Thank you for your support.
