Fact: Energy Transfer’s lawsuit is not about free speech.

Greenpeace repeatedly claims, through social media, emails and traditional media campaigns, that Energy Transfer’s lawsuit is an attack on free speech and intended to silence the organization.

On July 23, 2024, Greenpeace sent a letter to Energy Transfer, requesting the company withdraw its claims in the U.S. lawsuit. The paid media campaign surrounding the letter directly demonstrates that Greenpeace is not being silenced. In fact, the organization is exercising its right to free speech without limits. Additionally, Greenpeace is using this mischaracterization to raise funds, and sidestep the consequences of their actions.
