So here is everything you need to understand, fight and build resilience against SLAPPs, whether at a national, regional or global level.
Client EarthIs an environmental law charity that uses legal action, policy advocacy, and scientific research to hold governments and corporations accountable for climate, pollution, biodiversity, and environmental justice issues. 

Their document library (Resources & Publications) provides access to reports, legal analyses, policy briefs, case studies, and thematic resource collections (e.g. on climate accountability, trade, habitats).
Global Witnessis an investigative campaigning organisation that uncovers how powerful actors profit from environmental destruction, corruption, resource exploitation, and human rights violations — and supports frontline defenders in resisting these harms. 

They publish investigative reports, data-driven analyses, campaign briefings, and maintain a killing/attack database for land and environmental defenders
Rebels in Prisons is a UK-based independent group supporting non-violent activists who are imprisoned, emerging from increasing restrictions on protest and rising numbers of arrests of peaceful protestors.

Their “Resources” page links to allied organisations (e.g. prisoner support, legal aid, activism networks) and includes materials such as data protection notes and intake forms for activists
