Greenpeace activists stand outside Dallas City Hall with signs for a recent campaign aimed at Energy Transfer.
Greenpeace USA began running a series of advertisements targeted at oil company Energy Transfer (ET) near their corporate headquarters, over the company’s attempt to use the legal system to intimidate and silence critics. The ads, running messages like “Don’t Mess With Free Speech” and “Democracy Runs on Free Speech, Not Oil and Gas” appeared in Dallas. The displays and accompanying yard signs are part of a new campaign to defend freedom of expression in the United States and save Greenpeace USA from a corporate intimidation tactic designed to shutter the storied environmental and climate organization.
