Wind and solar helped the UK avoid US$7.8 BILLION in gas imports during the Hormuz crisis. That’s what breaking fossil fuel dependence looks like. Governments backing more oil and gas owe people an explanation. SCALE UP RENEWABLES.

Greenpeace entities have asked Judge James Gion for a new trial. If he denies it, we'll appeal. Either way, the facts don’t change: independent observers looked closely at this trial, and found it to be a miscarriage of justice.

Greenpeace International is fighting back with a lawsuit against ET in the Netherlands, where GPI is based and protections against legal abuse exist.

The attorneys found the litigation to be a textbook SLAPP:  👉 Strategic  👉 Litigation  👉 Against  👉 Public Participation.  Corporate bullies use expensive lawsuits to silence critics and activists.  Most US states have anti-SLAPP laws. North Dakota does not.

Martin Garbus, a veteran free speech advocate who watched the trial said: "Probably the most unfair one I've ever witnessed in the US." He warned that if this stands, it could hurt activists, religious groups, political orgs, churches, charities, and anyone speaking on issues of public importance.

Lawyers observed the trial and found major red flags, continued: 🚩 The judge had improperly blocked Greenpeace entities from presenting their full defences through various decisions. 🚩 Before the trial started, pro-industry mailers went out to local residents, and ET mounted a PR campaign.

Lawyers observed the trial and found major red flags:
  🚩 97% of potential jurors said they could not be fair or impartial in the case.  🚩 7 of the 9 seated jurors had direct ties to the oil & gas industry, and none were Indigenous or people of color.

The jury originally handed down a verdict over $660 million. A judge later reduced it to $345 million.

Who is Energy Transfer? They're one of the biggest players in American fossil energy, running roughly 140,000 miles of gas pipeline across 44 states. Founder Kelcy Warren is a major Trump donor and has made no secret of his desire to confront protesters head on.

🔎Background: After nearly 10 years of back-to-back SLAPP lawsuits from Big Oil company Energy Transfer, the company got a $345M judgment against Greenpeace entities for supporting the Indigenous-led protests at Standing Rock.

HUGE NEWS: A group of top civil rights & free speech lawyers are calling for the $345 MILLION verdict against Greenpeace International and Greenpeace in the US to be overturned. Here’s what really happened and why EVERY activist is at risk 🧵

From defending Nelson Mandela and others who ended South Africa’s racist apartheid regime, to judging key international court cases, her dedication to justice and human dignity is unwavering. More recently, Pillay led the UN commission of inquiry that confirmed Israel has committed genocide in Gaza

Congratulations to anti-apartheid activist Navi Pillay on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 2026 💚

A few hundred meters from the pristine riverbanks in Croatia, a megafarm is being built: ⁣ ⁣ 🚨 1.8 MILLION chickens per year⁣ 🚨 Over 1 MILLION litres of toxic wastewater annually⁣ Billionaire Ag executives are expecting communities to suffer in silence while they extract profit.⁣ ⁣ ⁣#PeoplePower ✊

Same oil & gas... but for a much bigger bill. EU countries have paid over US$113.5 BILLION EXTRA for energy imports since the war on Iran began. Governments MUST protect people and speed up homegrown wind and solar.
