A task force of nonprofit organizations that have combined our expertise and collective power to fight back against SLAPPs and protect the free speech of public interest advocates in the United States. Shares ≠ endorsements. #StopSLAPPs #ProtectTheProtest

A man giving a speech into a microphone, with the text: What gives me hope is how courageous people are, that they do get SLAPPed – normal, regular people taking action that is so effective, that they suddenly get sued for thousands of dollars by corporations. I want more organizations to do that too. The quote is attributed to Xavier T. de Janon, the Director of Mass Defense at the National Lawyers Guild. The Protect the Protest coalition logo is in the bottom right corner.
