Don’t miss our [ [link removed] ]LIVE National Organize-to-Win Call that kicks off at
8:30 pm ET/5:30 PT TONIGHT!
US Rep. Jamie Raskin will discuss urgent efforts to defend the right to
protest from attacks by an extremist rightwing at odds with free speech
and democracy.
We’ll hear from Greenpeace USA’s Deepa Padmanabha on the corporate tactic
of using SLAPP lawsuits to drain resources from organizations protecting
the environment, public health, and more.
Then, Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, executive director for Partnership for
Civil Justice Fund, will talk about how we can defend the right to
dissent.

As Robert Reich explains in this video, corporations are using SLAPP
lawsuits — “Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation” — to
intimidate and silence organizations by burdening them with the costs of a
legal defense.
And, winning the case isn’t even necessarily the goal. These lawsuits are
becoming widespread as a way for corporations to drain groups of time and
resources to have a chilling effect on all kinds of public-interest work
from health care to workers rights to democracy.
For example, Energy Transfer Partners is filing suits over Standing Rock
and the Dakota Access Pipeline, accusing environmental organizations of
criminal conspiracy, ecoterrorism, and even drug trafficking!
Some of these lawsuits have been filed by Michael Bowe (a member of
Trump’s personal legal team!) and he’s openly talking with other
corporations to file more SLAPP suits.

into silence. Sign up to join our call on Monday to learn more.

NEW ‘BIRDIE SANDERS’ STICKER
[ [link removed] ][IMG]
This month marks the 7th anniversary of the famous bird-landing on
Bernie's podium — and we're celebrating with a new sticker depicting the
hope and joy that was lit in that moment.
Get your sticker with a one-time donation of $10 (just $5 for members!) or
sign-up for a monthly donation of just $5 or more.
This heartwarming moment in Bernie-history took place in 2016 in Portland,
OR, where a crowd of 28,000 erupted in thunderous applause. “I think
there's some symbolism here,” Bernie said. “This bird is really a dove
asking us for world peace — no more wars!”
