The organization’s legal team is composed of skilled attorneys who work with grassroots groups, communities, and other advocacy organizations to challenge harmful practices by corporations, industries, and governments. Earthjustice has played a pivotal role in securing landmark victories for clean air and water, preserving public lands, protecting endangered species, and advancing clean energy policies.

They focus on making the law a powerful tool for environmental protection, ensuring that communities—especially those most vulnerable—are able to enjoy a healthy environment.
The organization’s approach is based on the belief that environmental justice is fundamental to the health and well-being of all people. By holding polluters accountable and driving policy change, Earthjustice strives to create a more sustainable and equitable future for generations to come.
