Hello everyone!

I am happy to share with you some interesting news coming from CASE (Coalition against SLAPPs in Europe), a coalition of which Wikimedia Europe is part of.

CASE just announced the launch of its latest resource: the Anti-SLAPP Guidebook. This comprehensive guide is designed to empower public watchdogs and advocates to protect themselves from abusive lawsuits and legal threats, effectively position their defenses, and know where to seek help if faced with legal challenges. You can find more information and access the guidebook on the CASE webpage (it will be actually published on the 5 of September).

The CASE Guidebook covers essential topics, including:

⭐ Defamation
⭐ Protest
⭐ Copyright and Trademark
⭐ Whistleblowing
⭐ Commercial and Official Secrets
⭐ Data Protection Law

CASE is also offering a series of mini-trainings focused on the most relevant areas for those who speak truth to power:

In these sessions, they will break down key terminology, explore relevant laws, and provide practical tips to help you safeguard yourself from legal threats.

Feel free to register for these valuable training sessions!
