FROM FRIENDS OF THE EARTH — THIS CANNOT BE FAIR — GREEDY COPORATONS SUE OUR GOVERNMENT

View in browser Dear John, Should greedy corporations be allowed to sue the government in secret courts when their climate-wrecking plans are thwarted? We certainly don't think so. But that's exactly what the backers of the cancelled Whitehaven coal mine are doing. And if they win, it'll be us taxpayers who foot the bill. Please sign our petition to demand the UK government puts an end to secret corporate courts. I'LL SIGN THE PETITION Around the world, secret Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) courts let companies sue governments. Shady cases are decided in private, outside normal legal systems. That means fossil fuel companies and other polluters can punish governments for protecting the climate. This is bad for people and planet. It costs us, the public, because compensation comes from taxpayers’ pockets. And the planet pays as climate-protecting laws are weakened. Tell the government to safeguard our climate by bringing secret corporate courts to an end. I'LL SIGN THE PETITION Thanks for standing up for transparency in our courts, Kierra, Campaigner, Friends of the Earth About us Supporter promise Privacy policy Contact us DONATE This email was sent to spanishjohnedwards@gmail.com Want to change how you receive these emails?
