Protecting Your Right to Speak Out!

The Public Participation Project works to protect citizens from lawsuits designed to chill their ability to communicate with their government or speak out on issues of public interest. Such lawsuits, called Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs), pose serious dangers to free expression throughout the country. The Public Participation Project is working to enact legislation in Congress to provide protection from these lawsuits.  For more information on SLAPPs, click here.
