CRITICAL Free Speech Case Unfolding In N. Dakota! w/ Steven Donziger (Jimmy Dore)

In what legal experts are calling one of the most egregious abuses of the judicial system in U.S. history, Dallas-based oil tycoon Kelcy Warren and his company, Energy Transfer, the operator of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), are pushing forward with a controversial lawsuit against Greenpeace.

The case, widely denounced as a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP), is seen as a brazen attempt to silence climate activists and crush dissent against the fossil fuel industry.

Jimmy speaks with attorney Steven Donziger about the coalition of prominent attorneys and human rights advocates who have stepped in to monitor the trial, aiming to expose what they describe as a corporate assault on free speech and environmental justice.



This is an apolitical issue about lawfare and shutting down dissent and protest. People have the right to air their grievances and protest, right or wrong, and legally challenge the acts of large corporations.
