Building Power Transforming Courts Securing Justice for All

AFJ’s Mission
We build the strength of progressive movements by training and educating nonprofit organizations on advocacy, while harnessing their collective power to transform our state and federal courts.
How we fight matters. The benefits of the doubt have already been given and expired. This is the moment for vigilance in defense of our civil and human rights, our health and safety, the sanctity of the rule of law, and the fate of our democracy.
Our courts teams partner with our diverse members and allies to champion movement lawyers, working to balance the judiciary by fighting for confirmations of equal justice champions.
The importance of having highly qualified judges on State Supreme Courts has never been more vital. Ninety-five percent of court cases are heard at the state level and the decisions can change lives forever and have impacts for generations.
Our one-of-a-kind, world class Bolder Advocacy program promotes active engagement in democratic processes and institutions by giving nonprofits and foundations the confidence to advocate effectively and by protecting their right to do so. Through our easy-to-use curriculum of training programs, technical assistance, workshops, and tools, we build grassroots power and boost advocacy capacity.
