\u00bfQu\u00e9 es una demanda estrat\u00e9gica contra la participaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica (SLAPP)?<\/h3>\n

Los abogados de CLDC han tenido \u00e9xito en la defensa de activistas y organizaciones por la justicia social y clim\u00e1tica contra las DEMI (demandas estrat\u00e9gicas contra la participaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica), que est\u00e1n dise\u00f1adas para coartar la libertad de expresi\u00f3n, en particular la disidencia. Los matones corporativos con amplios recursos tienen un historial largo y vergonzoso de presentar demandas DEMI para intimidar a activistas y organizaciones de justicia clim\u00e1tica y otros progresistas. Y siguen present\u00e1ndolas, con el \u00fanico prop\u00f3sito de agotar los recursos de los activistas, hacerles perder el tiempo (lo que afecta al esfuerzo que las personas pueden aportar a los movimientos sociales) y causarles ansiedad. Todos estos factores crean un efecto de intimidaci\u00f3n que perjudica el ejercicio de la libertad de expresi\u00f3n. Los ejemplos incluyen demandas por difamaci\u00f3n (calumnia y difamaci\u00f3n) contra personas por simplemente hablar en contra de las malas pr\u00e1cticas corporativas. Las demandas DEMI suelen acusar al activista o a la organizaci\u00f3n demandada de difamaci\u00f3n o alguna otra forma de mala conducta il\u00edcita, enmarcando la demanda como leg\u00edtima cuando el objetivo real es intimidar y silenciar a los activistas y atentar contra el derecho a la libertad de expresi\u00f3n. El CLDC es un experto nacional en la defensa de activistas y sus campa\u00f1as contra la amenaza de las demandas DEMI inconstitucionales. Tenemos un amplio banco de escritos y recursos legales a disposici\u00f3n de los abogados. Si usted es un abogado que representa a activistas por el cambio ambiental o social, por favor Cont\u00e1ctanos.<\/a> Somos un miembro orgulloso y activo de la nacional Coalici\u00f3n Proteger la Protesta<\/a>, que defiende a quienes son atacados por demandas SLAPP y educa a activistas y al p\u00fablico sobre ellas. A trav\u00e9s de este proceso, hemos transmitido, como coalici\u00f3n, que nos apoyamos mutuamente y que los matones corporativos vienen por todos nosotros cuando vienen por uno de nosotros. Los abogados del CLDC lograron que las demandas SLAPP de Resolute Forest Products y Energy Transfer Partners (ahora conocida como Energy Transfer) contra activistas por la justicia clim\u00e1tica fueran desestimadas para nuestros clientes. Tambi\u00e9n derrotamos al \u2019Nazi de la Marihuana\u2019 de Eugene, quien intent\u00f3 demandar bajo SLAPP a una activista antifascista de Eugene cuando se revel\u00f3 que era una nacionalista blanca. \u00a1Esperamos lograr m\u00e1s victorias contra las SLAPPs maliciosas!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\"Weed 9\" Lawsuit: Water for Citizens of Weed California et al. v. Churchwell White LLP et al.<\/h5>

CLDC lawyers provided legal support for the \u201cWeed 9,\u201d and Water for Citizens of Weed, California (WCWC), nine members of the Weed community who faced a SLAPP suit brought by Roseburg Forest Products in their effort to control a local water source. That SLAPP suit against our clients was dismissed, and our clients were awarded attorney fees under California's SLAPP statute. Roseburg Forest Products' lawsuit came in response to the nine citizen activists voicing their concerns about their small city losing access to a vital public spring water source to the interests of the private logging company. RFP's attorneys asserted that they were just trying to resolve legal ownership issues regarding the water supply, but neither WCWC nor the nine people RFP's attorneys named in the suit had ever made any personal claim to the rights or title to the water supply \u2014 a fact the law firm admitted at the time. Yet even with that knowledge, the law firm appealed the court rulings and dragged the defendants through two more years of legal proceedings. Several of the nine activists are former mayors \u2014 some who are now in their 80s and 90s. The activists had participated in town meetings and taken other grassroots actions as members of WCWC, to educate their community about the threat to their water supply. After writing a letter requesting assistance from a state agency, and speaking out during a local meeting, they found themselves in court being sued by a $900 million timber company. California's SLAPP statute also includes what is known as a \"SLAPPback\" provision, allowing people who have been hit with a SLAPP suit to turn around and sue the \"SLAPPer,\" for emotional distress damages and other remedies that go beyond an attorney fee award for having to defend the initial SLAPP suit. In April 2020 CLDC filed a SLAPPback suit against the Sacramento law firm Churchwell White LLP and two of its attorneys, alleging that they engaged in malicious and unlawful conduct when they (on behalf of their client, Roseburg Forest Products) filed the lawsuit against the Weed 9 and WCWC. We recently submitted our final brief on appeal in the \"SLAPPback\" lawsuit, and hope to have oral argument soon.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":0,"parent":7992,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"page-category":[716],"class_list":["post-9217","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","page-category-divi"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cldc.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cldc.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cldc.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cldc.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/93"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cldc.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9217"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/cldc.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9217\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18678,"href":"https:\/\/cldc.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9217\/revisions\/18678"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cldc.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cldc.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"page-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cldc.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/page-category?post=9217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
