Because the earth needs a good lawyer
When we say we’ll sue, it’s not a threat. It’s a promise — a promise that until we achieve a better future for all, our pursuit for justice will never rest.
We will win this fight — for the wild spaces we love, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the future of life itself.

When we say we’ll sue, it’s not a threat. It’s a promise — a promise that until we achieve a better future for all, our pursuit for justice will never rest. We will win this fight — for the wild spaces we love, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the future of life itself.
Behind nearly every major environmental win, you’ll find Earthjustice.
Earthjustice was founded on the belief that everyone has the right to a healthy environment.
The law is the most powerful tool for change. When we go to court, we get results.
We serve hundreds of public-interest clients, providing top-tier legal representation free of charge — and we win.
We’re a nonprofit in the business of building a better future.
Clean air.
Clean water.
Wild places.
At Earthjustice, we think they’re worth fighting for.
