JOIN US
Civil society is at its strongest when it is united. By speaking out with one voice we can ensure no group is marginalised, isolated, or otherwise left exposed to Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs): lawsuits designed to block accountability and suppress critical speech. We welcome groups representing different public watchdogs, promoting different causes, operating in different countries, and advancing different strategies. The more diverse we are the better. Please contact us through this form below or at contact@the-case.eu (note: Members of CASE commit to the shared goal of ending SLAPPs. Individual members do not necessarily endorse or participate in every action conducted in the name of the coalition)

CASE is calling for European institutions to take action against SLAPPs. Learn more about our efforts to campaign against SLAPPs, expose those who use them, and promote anti-SLAPP measures on a national and regional level.
GET SUPPORT
CASE is working to build the resilience of public watchdogs against SLAPPs. Learn more about how you can get support in responding to SLAPPs and legal threats, and what resources can assist you in the process.
SLAPP CASES
CASE is working to map out the full extent of the SLAPP problem in Europe. Learn more about how SLAPPs work from the people who have been on their receiving end, and find out how you can report instances of legal bullying.
