Energy Transfer’s SLAPP lawsuit
Updates from Greenpeace’s defense
Big Oil bully Energy Transfer is waging a SLAPP lawsuit against Greenpeace organisations in an attempt to silence protest and rewrite the history of the Indigenous-led protest movement against the Dakota Access Pipeline.

All together now: #WeWillNotBeSilenced
Energy Transfer’s meritless, back-to-back lawsuits against Greenpeace International and Greenpeace entities in the US since 2017 are perhaps the world’s most brazen examples of a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP).
Although laws against SLAPPs are being proposed and implemented around the world, these abusive lawsuits are currently a weapon of Big Oil bullies.
ET’s SLAPP represents a crucial test of this dangerous legal tactic that, if successful, could see it even more widely applied against peaceful protesters, especially in the US, and anyone who speaks out or criticises a deep-pocketed corporation.
