...Suggested Recommendations
  1.Adopt federal anti-SLAPP legislation with provisions to: 

a. Ensure the rapid dismissal (with prejudice) of lawsuits targeting Constitutionally protected free speech that is made in the public interest.

b. Enable defendants to recover attorney fees and other costs from SLAPP plaintiffs.

c. Automatically stay discovery until the Court rules on the anti-SLAPP motion.

2. Set up an independent oversight mechanism to consider ways to amend RICO or otherwise prevent its abuse against advocacy groups.

a. The mechanism should assess the provisions of the RICO Act in light of its misuse by large corporations against civil society actors, and recommend amendment so that the implementation of the law is in line with its spirit.

3. Pass laws or guidance to protect advocacy groups and individuals speaking out in the public interest from abusive lawsuits, legal intimidation tactics, and criminalization of free speech and freedom of assembly.
