#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.'"

Top of the Home page I’m designing to educate and motivate people to do the right thing to improve the environment for all living creatures and those yet to come after we leave. Working everyday to edit and improve the content of this legacy. I was inspired by Doc Hendley founder of Wine to Water… He said: regardless how insignificant you think you are, you can make a difference. wtw.org/

Make a difference! sr+

"Information exchanges between Russia and many other – especially Western – countries have declined since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Public discussion of environmental problems in a country like Russia, with its strongly suppressed civic and media sphere, is characteristically difficult. How then do times of war influence grassroots communications in Russia?"
