Yesterday we joined 12 other orgs to send a letter to the incoming AG Merrick Garland for the urgent review of @Chevron & @gibsondunn’s #SLAPPsuit targeting @SDonziger’s human rights advocacy. https://amazonwatch.org/assets/files/2021-02-16-doj-letter.pdf
This #SLAPPsuit sets a dangerous precedent for protecting the right to challenge powerful international corporations like @Chevron
