Who We Are
For over 50 years, Earthjustice has fought in the courts to protect people's health, preserve magnificent places and wildlife, advance clean energy, and combat climate change.
Along the way Earthjustice learned to complement its litigation with work on Capitol Hill and in statehouses to defend court wins and extend the power of our laws. While many elected officials value Earthjustice's opinion, the people they listen to most are their constituents. That led to the creation of Earthjustice Action, Earthjustice's 501(c)(4) advocacy partner, in 2017.
While Earthjustice wields the power of the law, Earthjustice Action unleashes the power of the people through grassroots advocacy and electoral work.
As a 501(c)(4) organization, Earthjustice Action is legally permitted to engage in a broader range of activities than Earthjustice, including lobbying beyond 501(c)(3) limits and electoral activities.
