Friends:
I know many of you have already been boosting the signal, and we thank
you profusely for the help.
For those who do not know, Joe Murphy is currently suing nina and I in
$1.25M defamation case because
From our official statement
(http://teamharpy.wordpress.com/why-are-we-being-sued/)
"Mr. Murphy claims that Ms. Rabey “posted the following false,
libelous and highly damaging tweet accusing the plaintiff of being a
‘sexual predator'”3. He further claims that Ms. de jesus wrote a blog
post that “makes additional false, libelous, highly damaging,
outrageous, malicious statements against the plaintiff alleging the
commission of sexual harassment and sexual abuse of women and other
forms of criminal and unlawful behaviour”4.
Both Ms. Rabey and Ms. de jesus maintain that our comments are fair
and are truthful, which we intend to establish in our defense. Neither
of us made the claims maliciously nor with any intent to damage Mr.
Murphy’s reputation."
Right now we need the following most importantly:
1. We have a call out for additional witnesses
(http://teamharpy.wordpress.com/call-for-witnesses/), which have
started to filter in more accounts of harrassment. Please, PLEASE, if
you know/seen/heard anything about the plaintiff, or know someone who
might -- please have them get in touch.
2. Share our site (http://teamharpy.wordpress.com) which includes
details of the case and updates. Please help us get the word out to as
many people as possible about the plaintiff's attempt to silence those
speaking up against sexual harassment and why you won't stand for it.
3.
onations: Many, many of you have asked to help donate to fund our
mounting legal costs. We will have a donation page up soon. Even if
you cannot help financially, please share across your social networks.
We will not be silenced. We will not be shamed.
Thank you again. The outpouring of support that has been happening has
made this all very much worth while.
Best,
Lisa
