EARTHJUSTICE continues to receive 4 stars (highest ranking) on the Charity Navigator website. Their mission statement explains what they do best. Earthjustice is a public interest law firm dedicated to protecting the magnificent places, natural resources, and wildlife of this earth and to defending the right of all people to a healthy environment. We bring about far-reaching change by enforcing and strengthening environmental laws on behalf of hundreds of organizations, coalitions and communities. Established as the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund in 1971, Earthjustice has a legal staff of more than 50 in eight offices around the country. Earthjustice uses federal and state environmental laws to protect the environment by taking government agencies to court for failing to enforce our nation's environmental laws, and corporations for breaking them. Earthjustice does this work on behalf of hundreds of community and environmental groups, providing legal services free of charge.
Here are a few of the actions they are involved in now, click on the links and make your voice heard on these important environmental issues and if you are able make a donation (I have been a monthly donor for a few years), no amount is too small, because the Earth does need good lawyers, especially now.
“We must preserve what’s left for our survival and that of our children and grandchildren.”
