Our Voices Are Vital

Can you imagine a world in which Greenpeace and other advocacy groups were no longer able to stand up for our forests, oceans, and climate? A giant logging corporation called Resolute Forest Products can — and is fighting to make this sinister vision a reality.

For years, Greenpeace has campaigned to protect the Great Northern Forest — the green halo around our globe — from unsustainable logging. Major companies, like Kleenex-maker Kimberly Clark, have worked with us to change their ways and today require that their paper sources act responsibly. But Resolute has refused to work on real solutions.

Instead, it’s sunk its efforts into an all-out assault on Greenpeace — launching two major lawsuits against Greenpeace Canada, Greenpeace USA, Stand.Earth, and Greenpeace International so big they could sink us.

We will not be silenced, even when faced with multi-million dollar lawsuits. That’s why Greenpeace supporters are speaking up — literally.

All around the world, Greenpeace supporters are recording their own voices, saying “our voices are vital.” These recordings will be used to show Resolute that it has picked the wrong battle — the global Greenpeace community is bigger than it imagined.

We’ll make sure Resolute gets the message: that the Greenpeace community is ready to get LOUD when it comes to protecting our right to speak out.

 

No matter who you are  a builder, painter, nurturer, writer, activist — your voice is vital to creating a better world. Now, corporate attacks on free speech are trying to take your voice away.

Greenpeace supporters are bold and courageous. When someone tries to silence us, we only get LOUDER. Make some noise with us today.
