Please help the forests, the defendants and free speech.

Ensure that Australians can continue to stand up for the future they believe in, without fear of being dragged to court. Write to your local state and federal members of Parliament urging them to introduce laws which protect participation in public debate, and discourage law suits which can stifle free speech.

Those people being sued for their efforts to protect the forest need your help. Start a Friends of Forests and Free Speech group in your local area. There is plenty to do: host a fundraising dinner with friends, run a community forum to raise awareness, hold a fundraising function or street information stall. Please donate generously to the fighting funds for the defendants.

Donate online now by going to The Wilderness Society's secure credit card server.
All funds raised will be used to support the defendants in the writ issued by Gunns Ltd. Funds raised will be distributed evenly amongst the 20 defendants. Please note these donations are not tax-deductible.
