35th Anniversary

On January 31, 1982, Public Justice first opened its doors. In the 35 years since then, we’ve led the fight for real legal change that helps real people and communities. From forcing polluters to clean up their act to standing with courageous young people against bullying and harassment – and being a champion for consumers, workers and civil rights – we take the cases that make an impact and change lives. Join us as we look back at 35 years of fighting injustice and look forward to more innovative advocacy on issues that matter.

    Lessons in Equality

    School bullying has reached alarming levels in America. Every day, countless students go to school in fear of their safety and in an environment where it is difficult, if not impossible, to learn. Similarly, reports of sexual assault and dating violence have skyrocketed in recent years. On college campuses, and in K-12 schools across the country, too many young people feel mistreated, powerless and forgotten. Public Justice is helping young people fight back and making a difference in their lives and the lives of other students, too.
