Earthjustice fights in court to protect the environment and preserve wild ecosystems. They hold the government and polluters accountable to environmental laws. Earthjustice is headquartered in San Francisco, CA, and has regional offices across the country, along with an International program.
From the Earthjustice website:
True and lasting change happens when the power of the law is on your side.
That is why the earth needs a good lawyer.
As expert legal strategists, we take on the big environmental fights—high-stakes cases where we can have an enduring impact—and stick with them until we win.
- HIGH STAKES: Will something significant be lost or gained?
- LANDMARK IMPACT: Will a positive ruling set a powerful precedent for other cases and help set national policy across the country?
- STRONG PARTNERSHIPS: Will the lawsuit help build strong, lasting partnerships with diverse local and/or national groups?
- UNIQUE EXPERTISE: Can Earthjustice leverage its expertise and resources to add value to a case in a unique way?
With more than a hundred attorneys in offices across the country, Earthjustice pursues three key goals to secure a just, flourishing world:
THE WILD
Our nation’s laws protect the magnificent natural spaces and wildlife we have inherited from previous generations. Earthjustice enforces those laws to protect what we know to be irreplaceable wildlife and wild places, for this and future generations.
HEALTHY COMMUNITIES
We fight for a future where children can breathe clean air, no matter where they live; where products in our homes are free of toxic chemicals; and where all communities are safer, healthier places to live and work.
CLEAN ENERGY & A HEALTHY CLIMATE
Earthjustice’s legal victories strengthen the rise of clean energy, laying the groundwork for the systemic change we must see. At stake is nothing less than our children’s—and our planet’s—future.
With the generous investment of our members, we are pursuing nearly 400 active legal cases.
Earthjustice’s decades of success are thanks to strong partnerships with hundreds of organizations—and hundreds of thousands of passionate supporters.
Because we believe as you do.
These are fights we cannot lose.
