Application for Substack Defender program

Please fill in this form to be considered for acceptance into the Substack Defender program.

Applications are open to US-based writers who have enabled paid subscriptions and publish work that may attract unreasonable legal pressure, such as abuses of copyright laws, assaults on first amendment rights, and spurious defamation claims. Upon acceptance to the program, writers can use a separate form to request help for specific cases.

Substack will make the ultimate choice on who is accepted into the program and which cases to support.

Before submitting, you should read the blog post announcing the Defender program (https://on.substack.com/p/legal-support-for-substack-writers) to get a better sense of the purposes of this initiative.
