a two step process when resolving an anti-SLAPP
          motion to dismiss. First, the court must determine if
          the defendant has demonstrated that the complaint is
          based on the defendant’s exercise of one of the enumer-
          ated rights and in connection with a matter of public
          concern. Our review of whether a defendant satisfies
          this initial burden by alleging conduct that falls within
          the ambit of the anti-SLAPP statute involves a question
          of statutory construction over which our review is ple-
          nary. See Chapnick v. DiLauro, 212 Conn. App. 263,
          269, 275 A.3d 746 (2022). Second, if the court determines
          that a defendant has met this initial burden, it must
          turn to whether the plaintiffs can demonstrate probable
          cause that they will prevail on the merits of the com-
          plaint, taking into consideration all valid defenses.
