What We Do
We take on the biggest systemic threats to justice of our time – abusive corporate power and predatory practices, the assault on civil rights and liberties, and the destruction of the earth’s sustainability. We connect high-impact litigation with strategic communications, and the strength of our partnerships to fight these abusive and discriminatory systems to win social and economic justice.
Defending Access to Justice
Powerful corporations and government actors have spent decades rewriting the rules to avoid accountability. We’re fighting back — inside the courtroom and out — on behalf of workers, families, consumers, and anyone who deserves their day in court.
Protecting the Environment
Everyone deserves a clean, livable planet. Public Justice works to ensure polluters pay for the damage they inflict on communities, fight the corporate interests contributing to climate change, and secure environmental justice for everyone.
Advancing Students’ Civil Rights
We’re leading the charge to build a world where racial and gender justice thrives in every school, so that every student has the freedom to be who they are and learn free from discrimination.
Ending the Criminalization of Poverty
No one should be jailed simply because they’re too poor to buy their freedom. We envision a world where families can stay together and where no one profits from poverty.
