In an op-ed published in guardian, Greenpeace US Interim Executive Director Sushma Raman and aclu_nationwide Executive Director Anthony Romero discuss how the recent $667M judgment against Greenpeace USA poses a serious threat to free speech and the right to protest.⁣ ⁣ ‘Everyday actions like attending a protest, signing a letter of support, or supporting communities at risk should never be considered “unlawful”.’⁣ ⁣ If corporations can weaponize the court system to threaten our first amendment rights, then any political speech or cause could become a target. Energy Transfer’s SLAPP is not just an attack on Greenpeace, but on civil society movements around the world who dare to speak out about abuses of power. #WeWillNotBeSilenced
