Ekō could be next
Our friends at Greenpeace have just been ordered to pay an oil
company over $660 million in damages because they dared to peacefully oppose
a destructive pipeline.
Ekō could be next.
Fossil fuel giants are now emboldened to sue climate defenders
out of existence. And Trump is making these attacks easier than ever. He has
gutted the Environmental Protection Agency by slashing over 1,000 jobs,
supported ramping up fossil fuel extraction, and vowed to “stop the wave of
frivolous litigation from environmental extremists”.
We’ve gone after Trump’s biggest allies. We’ve embarrassed
fossil fuel giants and helped win real victories against some very powerful
and very rich corporations. So let’s face it – we’re on their radar.
That’s why we need to be ready to protect ourselves when the
time comes. If everyone chips in what they can, we could build a legal fund
to dip into whenever necessary, no matter where we (or even partners) face
attacks in the world. Together, we can make sure our movement stays strong
in the fight against corporate exploitation.
Big business has bottomless pockets but we have you.
Can you chip in to help protect Ekō?

We’re at a chilling turning point for free speech. Not only is
the fossil fuel industry attempting to kill environmental movements for
peacefully protesting, it's seeking immunity from lawsuits that would hold
them accountable for their reckless pollution!
Worse, oil and gas lobbyists have been pushing destructive
anti-protest laws that could result in non-violent climate activists ending
up behind bars for up to ten years.
And this nightmare isn’t just a US problem. New laws in the UK
and Australia have slowly given police more powers to crack down on peaceful
protestors. Environmental activists in the Global South have long been some
of the most at-risk climate defenders, for putting their lives on the line
to speak out against reckless corporations forcing us into climate chaos.
These climate criminals are after one thing: carte blanche to
destroy the planet. And they plan to sue, intimidate, and bankrupt anyone
who gets in their way. All of this is designed to scare communities like
ours into silence, but we won’t back down.
Our playbook is different. It’s built on people power. It's
built on you.
We don’t take money from governments or corporations. Every
campaign, every victory, every act of resistance is possible because people
like you take action when it matters.
Now is one of those moments. If all of us chip in just a little,
we could create one of the biggest legal funds in history to protect Ekō and
campaigners everywhere, and make sure we’re never caught off guard by
corporate giants trying to take us down.
With the Trump administration putting polluters over the
planet – and trying to silence all of us who speak out against the rich and
powerful – we need your help more than ever before. Can you help us keep our
movement strong?
I'll donate $3
I'll donate $4
I'll donate $5
I'll donate $9

Your donation will help power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide
fighting for people and the planet.
Thanks for all that you do,
Nabil, Miriam and the Ekō team
