Friend,
I wish I had different news.
The corporate lawsuit against Public Citizen may be going to trial.
We’ve been ordered to proceed with the case in a state court located in the same small Ohio town where the company suing us is headquartered.
To refresh your memory:
Last summer, a powerful coal company called Murray Energy sued us after we ran radio ads pointing out its opposition to new worker safety and clean air protections.
We’ve tried to have the suit dismissed or at least heard in a neutrally located federal court.
But instead, we will be required to spend time and resources responding to demands from Murray Energy for documents and depositions.
And Public Citizen staff will have to divert attention away from the vital work they do every day to protect consumers and safeguard democracy.
It’s an outrage that this meritless legal attack could end up distracting from the real work we need to do.
I won’t sugarcoat it — we need help to get through this.
Can you donate right now — $20, $50, maybe even $100 or more — to help us stand up to this corporate attack?
Thank you for whatever you can chip in today.
Onward,
Robert Weissman
President, Public Citizen
