The @EUCouncil version of “Daphne’s Law” #AntiSlapps would not have protected Daphne herself from the SLAPPs she was facing. In its usual reflex, the Council protects those in power, not the citizens. The law must be fixed, so as to have real impact.

We started the first trialogue today on the #StopSLAPPs proposal!
Journalists and rights defenders need to be the watchdogs of our democracies &amp; work without fear or constraints.
We need strong EU rules against abusive litigation.
I look forward to constructive discussions! https://t.co/SBro9t5gqO

We need strong #StopSLAPPs action to prevent this phenomenon from growing.
Our objective is clear: to protect journalists and other important civil society actors against abusive court proceedings.
In Strasbourg #EPlenary, I called for swift progress on the file. https://t.co/NChfaZBBOL

For years, companies have been using SLAPPs (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) to silence free speech.

Now they’re attacking @greenpeaceusa. 🫣

On Thursday, April 20, 2023, Greenpeace USA will argue its motion for summary judgment in federal court in Oakland, CA, making its case that the lawsuit brought by Resolute Forest Products should be resolved in Greenpeace USA’s favor once and for all.

Come and show your support for and solidarity with Greenpeace USA in our fight against corporate attacks against our voices. Come and learn more about this growing threat to free speech and what individuals and impacted communities are doing to assert our First Amendment Rights to speak out when corporate actors try to shut down environmental advocacy.
