Defending Justice – Protecting Our Rights

For 45 years, Alliance for Justice has never backed down from a challenge. Today, that commitment goes deeper. We are ready to stand firm, mobilize, and defend the rights, democracy, and freedoms we’ve worked tirelessly to protect.

Our immediate focus? Stopping Trump’s extremist takeover of the federal bench. With our unique blend of research and advocacy, we’ll expose the dangerous records of his judicial nominees and pull every lever to block those who threaten our core freedoms. We’re doubling down on state courts, pushing to seat judges who represent the voices and values of the people, not just the powerful.

Our Bolder Advocacy program is here to support the movements on the front lines. From reproductive rights to LGBTQ+ equality to economic justice, we will ensure progressive nonprofits and grassroots organizations stay strong, safe, and equipped to organize powerfully in the face of targeted attacks.

Together with our 140 diverse member organizations, we will continue building power, transforming courts, and securing justice for all.

The time is now. Join us.
