We Pledge
To act in solidarity with each other when sued for speaking out in the public interest.
To expose and fight back against the use of lawsuits to bully and intimidate into silence
To support public watchdogs struggling to resist these tactics
AN ATTACK ON ONE IS AN ATTACK ON ALL
WE ARE THE COALITION AGAINST SLAPPS IN EUROPE (CASE)
Join Us
Civil society is at its strongest when it is united. By speaking out with one voice we can ensure no group is marginalised, isolated, or otherwise left exposed to Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs): lawsuits designed to block accountability and suppress critical speech. We welcome groups representing different public watchdogs, promoting different causes, operating in different countries, and advancing different strategies. The more diverse we are the better. Please contact us through this form below or at contact@the-case.eu (note: Members of CASE commit to the shared goal of ending SLAPPs. Individual members do not necessarily endorse or participate in every action conducted in the name of the coalition)
It’s time to reclaim the shame. It’s time to strip away the facade of legal respectability and expose the aggressive bully tactics underneath. It’s time to show the faces of some of the worst legal bullies in Europe.
