Our Mission
The Public Participation Project works to protect citizens from Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) through the enactment of legislation in Congress and the states. SLAPPs are lawsuits brought against those who communicate with their government or speak out on issues of public interest.
About SLAPPs
“Anti-SLAPP statutes are an effective way to terminate meritless lawsuits, thus reducing burdens on the courts, and at the same time promoting the exercise of speech rights.”
— BRUCE BROWN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, REPORTERS COMMITTEE FOR FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
