Justice Partners Virtual Town Hall Series
As a Justice Partner, you are an invaluable part of our Earthjustice community of advocates, partners, and clients.
To thank you for your passion for and commitment to our work, we hosted the Justice Partners Virtual Town Halls on March 2, June 8, and September 7. Earthjustice attorneys spoke about their areas of expertise and how they are fighting to power everything with 100% clean energy, build a justice-centered environmental movement, and ensure all communities have access to safe drinking water.
This was a webinar-style event series that offered closed captioning, with the option to dial-in by phone for audio only access.

Strategic Legal Advocacy

Sam Sankar and Kirti Datla discuss Earthjustice’s strategic legal advocacy efforts, which include monitoring attempts to shape the law in a way that makes it harder for our litigation work to succeed, building strong coalitions of partners within and outside of the environmental movement that can be activated on short notice, and reinforcing Earthjustice’s reputation for excellent litigation work.

Safe Drinking Water
