Despite already being ‘worth’ $100 billion, Gautam Adani is suing Ben for a whopping $17million. He wants to take away the suburban home of Ben’s family, as punishment for undertaking peaceful climate action. Adani even hired security contractors to follow Ben’s wife and kids around, taking photos without their consent.
Aussie legend Bob Brown called to send his support to #StopAdani protest leader Ben Pennings:
"Billionaire Gautam Adani has bullied my friend Ben Pennings and his family for three years in an aggressive attempt to stifle peaceful protest. Please give Ben your help to fend off Adani's attacks in the Supreme Court and to defend the political freedoms of us all."
Ben told me “Bob’s bravery inspired me when I was a kid, watching the Franklin Dam protests on the 7pm news. We’ve both faced violence, death threats, Murdoch slander and vicious lawsuits. Bob standing behind me gives me the confidence to stand firm, defend the right to protest. People power will and must win.”
Ben isn’t a billionaire - so he needs the support of people like Bob, and you. Can you top up his legal fund to protect peaceful protest?
So far almost 5,000 donors on Chuffed have chipped in over half what he currently needs to defend this vicious lawsuit.
Thank you for defending the people.
