“Accessing justice must not be a luxury available only to the powerful and wealthy few."
Our colleague @nikwilliams.bsky.social on the urgent need to #StopSLAPPs & the MPs calling for this. Will Keir Starmer take note?

After @danneidle.bsky.social's victory in the High Court, the judge confirmed the UK's first "statutory SLAPP". For the UK Anti-SLAPP Coalition this reinforces the urgent need for universal anti-SLAPP protections #StopSLAPPs

SLAPPs are most commonly associated with attempts to muzzle journalists, but academics increasingly finding themselves on the receiving end of similar threats from companies & wealthy individuals unhappy with critical scholarship.
It's time to #StopSLAPPs.

🚨 A US court has ordered @greenpeace.org and US entities to pay $345m to oil giant Energy Transfer over solidarity with pipeline protests.
The CEO said it’s about “sending a message.”
That message? Stay silent or pay the price.
We refuse to be silenced.

“...my history of speaking up has always been rooted in justice. At previous jobs, I would literally take the company values off the wall when weweren’t living them. Speaking up is my nature...”
Read Ron's story of being SLAPPed for speaking out on sexual abuse in his church. #StopSLAPPs
Our message to Keir Starmer ⬇️
Ensure anti-SLAPP provisions are included in the next King’s Speech, so those speaking out in the public interest are protected from abusive lawsuits.
125+ representatives have signed the open letter ⬇️

Yesterday #SCOTUS issued a ruling about when certain state statutes – including anti-SLAPP protections – may apply in federal court.

This is excellent news. When (not if) we have won the campaign to #StopSLAPPS, this should be used as a perfect case of how effective advocacy works. It can take years & have setbacks but with clear goals, team work & patience it can still succeed. An important lesson for these beleaguered times.
A great resource to help us organize against those in power who use this lawfare tactic in attempts silence criticism and dissent! #StopSLAPPs
Baroness Helena Kennedy KC writes the introduction to our latest report, From Survivor to Defendant, explaining how the lack of action against SLAPPs is failing survivors of sexual and gender-based violence. Read the report:

⚫ 8 years since Daphne Caruana Galizia was assassinated for her journalism.
Her fight for truth lives on, but so does the threat of SLAPPs, used to silence reporters across Europe.
We continue to work with the @daphne.foundation to #StopSLAPPs and protect press freedom.

SLAPPs are now being used to silence academics as well as activists & journalists.
Academic freedom is a cornerstone of democracy & members of the academic community should be able to engage in research and publication without fear of reprisal
#stopSLAPPs #AcademicFreedom
If clinicians and academics can’t critique approaches to mental health treatment without fearing lawsuits, how can we have honest, evidence-based discussion in psychotherapy & healthcare?
🤐 SLAPPs don’t win arguments, they just silence them.

👉 This is a textbook SLAPP: a powerful corporation weaponising the courts to drain citizens’ resources, stifle debate, and discourage scrutiny of its project.
Makes some noise and show solidarity with Roberto Malini and Lisetta Sperindei by sharing their story.
#StopSLAPPs
An attack on one is an attack on all.
We won’t stay silent – no matter how deep their pockets or how dirty their tactics.
📣 Show solidarity with those targeted by SLAPPs: like, share, and help us make some noise.

⚠️ IT'S A (DOUBLE) SLAPP!
@casecoalition.bsky.social has verified TWO new SLAPPs, both concerning Italian citizens who tried to raise their voices for the public good.
📣 Italy, where are your SLAPP protections? 👀
#StopSLAPPs
🌍 Yesterday was International Day of Universal Access to Information… but our #RightToKnow is under threat from SLAPPs.
A right that cannot be safely exercised is no right at all.
European countries have 6 months to implement the EU anti-SLAPP law - we urge them to get it right!
#StopSLAPPs
Yesterday, with the support of @casecoalition.bsky.social, Lëvizja FOL gathered institutions, embassies, journalists & the Anti-SLAPP Coalition in #Kosovo to stress the need for collective action to protect democracy, human rights & free expression.

"I applaud our allies at Greenpeace International for taking full advantage of the new anti-SLAPP directive in the European Union...It’s the exact reason Greenpeace USA continues to push for similar anti-SLAPP protections at the federal level in the United States."

🖐️ It's a SLAPP!
🚨 @casecoalition.bsky.social officially recognises Joost Debucquoy’s €1.2M lawsuit against non-profit groups Samen Sterk ! & Erfpacht as a SLAPP – designed to silence those exposing the injustice of his family’s real estate schemes.

A record number of Americans now have protections from SLAPP lawsuits, but some states still leave residents vulnerable. These laws are a critical tool to protect us from authoritarianism, and we still need federal anti-SLAPP legislation so that we are ALL protected.

✊While the judge deliberates, we stand in solidarity with @greenpeace.org, and with all those facing SLAPPs.
We will not be silenced by corporate bullies.

💥 Why is a multibillion-dollar fossil fuel pipeline giant getting so nervous?
After back-to-back lawsuits against Greenpeace in the US, Energy Transfer is now trying to shield itself from Europe’s new anti-SLAPP law. #StopSLAPPs

✊ Victory for protest rights! Pro-Palestine advocates in Chicago just defeated a baseless lawsuit that threatened their right to protest. #ProtectTheProtest #StopSLAPPs
"Die inkriminierten Worte 'Arbeitsverweigerung' und 'Untätigkeit' werden aber von Politikern und Journalisten im Parlament, in Leitartikeln, aber auch bei Sportreportagen oder Musikkritiken immer wieder als Kritik an einer Leistung oder deren Nichterbringen vollkommen selbstverständlich verwendet, ohne dass jemand auch nur auf die Idee käme, es handle sich um den Vorwurf eines strafbaren Verhaltens. Eine derartige Auslegung ist im höchsten Maße konstruiert und lebensfremd. Sie stellt also nicht nur die Kunstfreiheit von Satirikern infrage, sondern auch die freie Meinungsäußerung bei der Kritik an Personen des öffentlichen Lebens", erklärt die Medienanwältin.
