I’m With Greenpeace against Energy Transfer’s meritless $300 million lawsuit

Big Oil knows people power will ultimately triumph over corporate polluters — and now they’re fighting dirty. A meritless US$ 300 million lawsuit filed by Big Oil company Energy Transfer against Greenpeace goes to trial in the US early 2025, and it  threatens Greenpeace’s existence as well as peaceful protest and activism around the world. 

For more than 50 years, Greenpeace has taken action in defense of people and the planet. To ensure we can continue this work, we need your support. The lawsuit against Greenpeace in the US and Greenpeace International filed by Energy Transfer — a US-based fossil fuel company that is responsible for the Dakota Access Pipeline — makes allegations that affect people far beyond Greenpeace. It not only attempts to undermine the Indigenous leadership of the Standing Rock movement, but also aims to silence anyone with the courage to stand up to polluters in their own backyard. 

This lawsuit is a prime example of a weapon being wielded by Big Oil and corporate polluters against dissent: SLAPP lawsuits. In recent years, these Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP) are a key tool used by corporations to attempt to suppress free speech and people power. We will not allow lawsuits like this one to stop us from advocating for a just, green, and peaceful future.
