#Greenpeace on Trial: $300M Lawsuit over #StandingRock #Protests Could Shutter Group & Chill #FreeSpeech

#DemocracyNow, March 04, 2025

"A closely watched civil trial that began in #NorthDakota last week could bankrupt Greenpeace and chill #EnvironmentalActivism as the climate crisis continues to deepen. The multimillion-dollar lawsuit by #EnergyTransfer, the oil corporation behind the #DakotaAccessPipeline, claims Greenpeace organized the mass protests and encampment at Standing Rock between 2016 and 2017 aimed at stopping construction of the project.

"Although the uprising at Standing Rock was led by #Indigenous #WaterDefenders, Energy Transfer is instead going after Greenpeace for $300 million in damages — an amount that could effectively shutter the group’s U.S. operations. 'This case is not just an obvious and blatant erasure of #IndigenousLeadership, of #IndigenousResistance,' says Deepa Padmanabha, a senior legal adviser for #GreenpeaceUSA. 'It is an attack on the broader movement and all of our First Amendment rights to free speech and #PeacefulProtest.'"

Democracy Now! · Greenpeace on Trial: $300M Lawsuit over Standing Rock Protests Could Shutter Group & Chill Free SpeechBy Democracy Now!

Let’s be clear: the right to protest is enshrined in the Constitution, and no one, least of all the current president, has the authority to strip us of that right.

We urge everyone to be safe, stay informed, and continue to exercise their rights peacefully and lawfully. This is a critical moment in the ongoing fight to protect our freedoms. Together, we will not let these threats deter us.

“Freedom dies in darkness.”

#trump , #musk, #bezos and the other #oligarchs are the leading edge of the darkness. Vote them out at the ballot box. Vote with your spending.

Undoubtedly someone will say that it is Bezos' right to run #washingtonpost the way he wants. I agree, just as we are free to #vote , #boycott and #protest peacefully.

The Guardian · Washington Post opinion editor departs as Bezos pushes to promote ‘personal liberties and free markets’By Richard Luscombe

Do we in #Australia take democracy and basic freedoms seriously, or not? Because if we want to keep basic freedoms, and halt the slide towards authoritarianism, we are going to have to see more and larger protests - just to retain the right to protest!

"A recent study from researchers at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom has found that Australia is the world leader when it comes to arresting these environmental protesters."

SBS NewsIt's fundamental to Australia's democracy. But is your right to protest under attack?Protests have delivered the eight-hour workday, voting rights for women, native title rights and marriage equality — among many other achievements. But some fear Australians' rights to do so are being eroded.
