What is a SLAPP?

“Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation” (SLAPPs) are a dangerous legal tactic used by those in power to silence their critics. SLAPPs masquerade as ordinary civil lawsuits, but their true purpose is to retaliate against those who speak truth to power.

Who is vulnerable?

SLAPPs target community leaders, journalists, whistleblowers, civil society advocates, and everyday people who exercise their constitutional rights to speak up about issues of public concern.
