We invite you to a debate:

"Can you hear me? - SLAPPs trying to silence us"

- April 5, from 3.30 pm - Cinema Elvire Popesco

SLAPPs (strategic litigation against public participation) are a real threat to journalists, NGOs and human rights defenders, used to intimidate and silence critical voices speaking the truth.

Guests:

 Elena Calistru - president of Funky Citizens

 Vlad Stoicescu - journalist, Dela0

 Mihail Bumbeș - civic activist, Spiritual Militia

 Victor Ilie, investigative journalist

We will discuss real cases, show solidarity and explore solutions for the protection of those who dare to tell the truth. Defending freedom of expression means defending democracy! Come and hear us if you want to hear the truth from voices fighting for transparency and justice!

Many of us have felt it over the last few months - the courage to call a spade a spade sometimes becomes an act of resistance. However, in the midst of these challenges, one thing remains unchanged: the power of authentic stories that bring us closer to each other, give us clarity, empathy and motivation not to shut ourselves in.

The storytelling show People of Justice comes to Cluj-Napoca for the first time and opens on May 29, starting at 19:00, an authentic space for dialogue, reflection and inspiration.

See you at Cinema "Florin Piersic" for an evening where journalists, judges, teachers, activists, content creators, criminologists will talk about addictions, justice in the digital age, misinformation, critical education, activism, neighborhood and more.

We don't bring to the stage topics for debate and abstract ideas, but real, personal stories that bring to light bits of truth we sometimes overlook. The on-stage moments will be complemented with short film, poetry and drama and we end the evening with a mini-concert.

📣 Produced by: Leaders for Justice

These are complicated days. We look around and see insecurity, fatigue and sometimes even resignation. We feel that many of the values we believe in are being challenged. But we also know that, when the reality in society becomes overwhelming, the most important thing we can do is pull together.

People of Justice is a storytelling show about exactly that. We return to Suceava on April 8, 2025 for an evening where stories become bridges, where we listen, feel, and remember that power is in each of us. That change starts with a voice, a decision, or a "no" said in time that inspires and gives courage.

We bring to the stage journalists, filmmakers, students, advocates, lawyers, activists, content creators and writers who speak with a balance of vulnerability and courage about important themes of justice, community, empathy, protecting children, information, healthy schools, personal loss, and engagement not as abstract ideas but as realities from which we can build together. You will hear stories that will not only make you think, but make you feel that you are not alone. On-stage moments are complemented by short film, poetry and theater.
