Our Work: In the Courts and On the Hill

Earthjustice focuses on three main priorities: preserving our amazing wildlife and special places; protecting the health of our communities by ensuring a toxic-free environment; and promoting clean energy over fossil fuels to combat global warming. Whether it's in the courtrooms or in the halls of Congress, our attorneys and policy experts are working for you by making sure the laws that protect our health and our environment remain strong and effective.
