Earthjustice is a nonprofit environmental law organization that has been fighting for public health, clean energy, and climate justice since 1971. As lawyers for the Earth, their team of top-notch legal experts has saved irreplaceable wildlands, cleaned up the air we breathe, and fueled the rise of 100% clean energy. They have protected countless species on the brink of extinction, and secured long-overdue, historic limits on our nation’s worst polluting industries.
And in the fight for transit justice, Earthjustice became lawyers for riders, too—representing Riders Alliance in our first-ever lawsuit. When congestion pricing was abruptly paused last summer, Earthjustice took our case to court. When the Trump Administration later tried to cancel the successful program for political gain, Earthjustice stepped up again.
In every instance, they have been a principled, powerful partner—defending not just the planet, but the people who rely on transit and the green future we’re fighting for together.
