The EarthJustice 2016 Legal Docket

With the generous investment of our members, Earthjustice is taking on some of the biggest environmental challenges of our time. In the new year, we will be pursuing nearly 400 active legal cases.

PRESERVING THE WILD

“The legal issues are challenging, and the opposition is daunting. 

But our track record of winning is remarkable, given the political and 

economic power that we go toe-to-toe against in court every day. 

Everyone connected with Earthjustice should take great pride in that.”

– DREW CAPUTO 

VICE-PRESIDENT OF LITIGATION FOR LANDS, WILDLIFE & OCEANS

PROTECTING OUR HEALTH

“Many communities still live with high levels of pollution and 

excessive toxic risk. We can do a better job. 

We have the technology and innovation—

and we have the wherewithal to reduce those burdens.”

– LISA GARCIA 

VICE-PRESIDENT OF LITIGATION FOR HEALTHY COMMUNITIES

ADVANCING CLEAN ENERGY

“What we excel at is forcing action. We’ve stepped into the vacuum of the 

policy debate and forced meaningful action to begin the shift away 

from fossil fuels. At Earthjustice, we have the opportunity to wield 

the law as a powerful force for good.”

– ABIGAIL DILLEN 

VICE-PRESIDENT OF LITIGATION FOR CLIMATE & ENERGY
