Because the earth needs a good lawyer

Earthjustice filed the first environmental lawsuit against the new Trump administration. There will be more to come.

Our attorneys are challenging President Trump’s illegal attempt to sell our oceans to the oil and gas industry.

We stand with our partners to fight for millions of people living in coastal communities across the country who adamantly oppose offshore drilling. 

Join the fight today with a monthly donation, and your first 12 gifts will be matched $1:$1.
