Defending Your Right to Speak Out

SLAPP Resource Center (SRC)

The SRC is the pioneering national nonprofit center dedicated to preserving the constitutional right of citizens to petition and otherwise communicate their views to government under the First Amendment. Despite this most fundamental right of democracy, individuals, organizations, and businesses are regularly sued for defamation and other alleged wrongs for speaking out on issues of public concern. We coined the phrase "Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation" or "SLAPPs" for this abuse of the legal system. The SRC serves as a professional and academic resource on SLAPPs through its research, policy development, advice and extensive public education around the country.
