The decision is in:

A US court has delivered a judgment ordering Greenpeace International and Greenpeace in the US to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in ‘damages’ to oil pipeline giant Energy Transfer.

Why? Because Energy Transfer wants to punish solidarity with the ongoing Indigenous-led movement opposing its Dakota Access Pipeline.

This lawsuit is about whether ordinary people everywhere have the right to speak out against billionaires and corporations wrecking our planet. If Energy Transfer can do this to multiple Greenpeace organisations, they can do it to anyone who dares to speak out.

We won’t be intimidated. We will continue to challenge this shocking US$345 million judgment. And together, we can show billionaires and corporate bullies everywhere that our people-powered movement is louder and stronger than ever.

Show you’re against corporate intimidation with your own banner and post it online!

Get creative and make a simple banner using some cardboard or paper or whatever your preferred canvas is, with one of these messages:

TIME TO RESIST
or
STOP CORPORATE INTIMIDATION

Share your photos

Ask a friend to take a photo of you holding up your banner and post it on social media. Use hashtags #TimeToResist #StopCorporateIntimidation and tag @greenpeace. Then offer to take a photo of them with their banner!

If you’re stuck for ideas then you can download our printable hand banner.

Here’s an example of what you could say in your post, to accompany your photo:

It’s time to resist! 

I stand in solidarity with Greenpeace in the US and Greenpeace International as they continue the legal fight against fossil fuel pipeline company Energy Transfer’s abusive SLAPP lawsuits. 

Big Oil wants to silence the Greenpeace network and the climate movement with intimidation tactics like lawsuits. But people power is only growing in response to such attacks ✊💚🌎

#StopCorporateIntimidation #TimeToResist @greenpeace

Let’s show Energy Transfer that thousands of people around the world oppose their intimidation.

Greenpeace Information Stand at the Kirchentag, Hannover Greenpeace will be represented at the Evening of Encounter at the Kirchentag 2025 in Hannover with a stand on the topic of the billionaires' tax. Visitors can vote hypothetically on symbolic 1 billion euro bills on how they would like to use the revenue from a billionaire's tax for climate protection. The filled-in banknotes will be attached to a 2-metre heart, which picks up on the Kirchentag motto “courageous, strong, courageous”. Engagement-led activity addressing the political power and influence of a small super-rich elite at a mass event in Hannover (biggest church convention in Germany). #timetoresist. © Daniel Pilar / Greenpeac
