When powerful interests use the law as a weapon to silence, democracy suffers – so we’re getting organised to defend our communities and fight for laws that protect Australians who speak up for what’s right.

The Stop the SLAPP Alliance brings together a network of organisations representing hundreds of thousands of Australians.

SLAPP describes a weaponised legal action which intimidates, exhausts or silences regular people advocating in the public interest.

SLAPP (Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation) suits let the powerful avoid scrutiny so corruption, environmental harm, and abuse stay hidden.
