Donate to the campaign
Simon Singh has the following message for donors: “Many people have very generously offered to contribute to my legal costs. At the moment, however, I am able to fund my legal battle, so I am reluctant to accept donations for the time being. Moreover, I think that there are more deserving causes that would very much benefit from donors who are concerned about my case and the state of English libel laws.
First, Sense About Science deserves your support, because it will be running the Keep Libel Laws out of Science campaign, which will be highlighting issues surrounding my case and English libel more generally. Campaigning requires a great deal of effort, time and resources, and additional financial support will help the campaign to have a major influence. Donate
Second, and this is a longer term goal, we are working with others to establish a fighting fund that will help the next science journalist who faces a libel action to get proper legal advice and to be in a position to defend against the action. Sense About Science needs donations for Keep Libel Laws out of Science now, but this fighting fund will require finance in the future. Please email freedebate@senseaboutscience.org if you are able to pledge finance or pro bono legal help, and we will be back in touch when this project gets off the ground.”
