It\u2019s a right that\u2019s under attack by the Trump Administration, which has found new and novel ways to silence those speaking on issues that Trump perceives as contrary to the conservative political agenda. \u201cStrategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation\u201d or SLAPP suits for short, similarly stand in the way of civic engagement and democratic accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SLAPPs are frivolous cases filed <em>no<\/em> to resolve a conflict or protect some legitimate legal right, but instead to bury one\u2019s critics in legal fees and bully them into silence. These suits, filed by powerful individuals or companies, often allege harm to that person or business\u2019s reputation or interference with their economic interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, <strong>the real power in SLAPP lies not in winning a case, but in punishing and deterring those who dare to exercise their First Amendment right and speak out on matters of public concern.<\/strong> While SLAPP suits are nothing new, they have recently gained traction as a tactic fossil fuel companies use to punish activists, NGOs, and even political leaders for their actions in publicly opposing policies and practices that harm the environment or worsen climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last month, the gravity of SLAPP hit hard when a jury in North Dakota found Greenpeace <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/energy-transfer-lawsuit-verdict\/\">liable for over $660 million in damages in a defamation case<\/a> brought by Texas-based pipeline company, Energy Transfer. The company had accused Greenpeace of playing a central role in organizing the resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock in 2016 and 2017, where the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe led protests.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-dark-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1 wp-block-paragraph\">The jury verdict followed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2025\/mar\/28\/greenpeace-verdict-pipeline-north-dakota?utm_term=67ee6b6241b80ce2526b65fb3316d889&amp;utm_campaign=DownToEarth&amp;utm_source=esp&amp;utm_medium=Email&amp;CMP=greenlight_email\">deeply flawed trial<\/a> and is a grim example of just how dangerous SLAPP can be when wielded by powerful corporate interests on a mission to bankrupt their opposition.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, Energy Transfer is not alone. ExxonMobil, one of the world\u2019s largest publicly-traded oil and gas companies and chemical manufacturers, recently <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/california-exxon-mobil-defamation-lawsuit-4e91fde6f15e6f2cc2ad221b12cfa5ac\">sued<\/a> the California Attorney General and several environmental groups including&nbsp;the Sierra Club, San Francisco Baykeeper, Heal the Bay, and the Surfrider Foundation for defamation and business disparagement, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The suit came shortly after those same groups <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/science\/environment\/california-sues-exxonmobil-plastic-recycling-deception-rcna172267\">sued Exxon for deceiving the public<\/a> about the recyclability of the company\u2019s plastics polymers\u2014the building blocks of single-use plastic. Exxon\u2019s meritless SLAPP accuses the Attorney General and environmental groups of \u201cusing smear campaigns (and lawfare) for politics, publicity, and private gain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/farmstand.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/standing-rock-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A Teepee overlooking the the Oceti Sakowin Dakota Access Pipeline resistance camp near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation.

As of January 2025, 35 states and the District of Columbia have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rcfp.org\/anti-slapp-legal-guide\/\">anti-SLAPP<\/a> laws on the books. These laws give courts an opportunity to dismiss SLAPP suits early on in the case before legal fees mount up. And many anti-SLAPP laws offer other protections like allowing defendants to quickly appeal a bad SLAPP ruling or get their litigation fees back once the SLAPP is tossed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull cta-banner-simple has-yellow-background-color has-background is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-2de2ec1e wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-darker-green-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2\">Mantente involucrade en la lucha por un sistema alimentario justo.

We represent a class of utility customers in a <a href=\"https:\/\/farmstand.org\/es\/caso\/no-greenwashing-factory-farm-gas-blumm-v-northwest-natural-gas-co\/\">greenwashing suit<\/a> against Northwest Natural Gas Company, whose Smart Energy program promised to \u201coffset\u201d customers\u2019 natural gas emissions in exchange for a fee. In practice, Northwest Natural used the fees to fund manure digesters at industrial dairies like Threemile Canyon Farms, where over 61,000 cows produce between 9 and 16 million pounds of methane per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a flagrant misuse of Oregon\u2019s anti-SLAPP law, Northwest Natural Gas asserted that <em>our<\/em> consumer protection lawsuit is a SLAPP designed to silence <em>its <\/em>speech on matters of public concern. It\u2019s safe to say our suit\u2014challenging the company\u2019s misleading representations about its commercial product\u2014is <em>far<\/em> from a SLAPP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This growing corporate boldness in shutting down activism through courts is closely linked to Trump\u2019s relentless attacks on speech he disagrees with<\/strong>, including that of journalists, federal health officials, diplomats, teachers, climate scientists, and&nbsp;the LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By detaining and deporting pro-Palestinian students, banning books and attacking learning opportunities in schools, libraries, and museums about America\u2019s racist, sexist, and oppressive roots, ordering federal employees to cease communications on topics like diversity, equity and inclusion and environmental justice, and calling for the blacklisting of law firms and impeachment of judges that have checked Trump\u2019s power, the President aims to deliberately suppress ideas that he considers threatening to his interests or the status quo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like SLAPP suits and the misuse of anti-SLAPP safeguards, Trump\u2019s political moves to chill speech threaten individual rights and democratic discourse itself. <strong>When people fear retaliation for engaging in advocacy, the public conversation suffers. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the agriculture space, food system workers experiencing unsafe or unfair working conditions may shy away from speaking out against their employer or regulators. Environmental and animal welfare NGOs may self-censor, thinking twice before they criticize a company for dumping their factory farm waste in a nearby creek or violating animal cruelty laws. Journalists may refrain from the type of investigative reporting that has and will continue to shed a light on our deeply flawed food system. Leaders in the communities FarmSTAND partners with may avoid organizing. After the <em>Greenpeace <\/em>decision and Trump\u2019s flurry of executive orders, who could blame them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>One thing remains true: you can count on FarmSTAND to show up in courtrooms and communities to fight for what\u2019s right.<\/strong> We are working to protect citizens from governmental attacks on free speech and activism, to increase awareness about the rise in SLAPPs and the perverse use of anti-SLAPP laws, and to provide advocates with the legal support and solidarity networks necessary to resist these tactics.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The biggest polluters increasingly use SLAPP and Anti-SLAPP to evade legal accountability<\/p>","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":934,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[112],"tags":[24,43,57,100],"issue":[20],"class_list":["post-932","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-insights","tag-consumer-rights","tag-free-speech","tag-government","tag-slapp","issue-climate-environmental-protection"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
