Earthjustice

Earthjustice is a non-profit environmental law organization that represents various health and environmental justice groups. They are currently newsworthy due to their lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the rollback of the "endangerment finding." This finding, established during the Obama administration, determined that greenhouse gas emissions endanger public health and welfare, forming the legal basis for federal climate regulations. The Trump administration's move to repeal this finding has been widely condemned by climate leaders and is considered a significant anti-environment action. Earthjustice's lawsuit aims to challenge this repeal, arguing that it undermines efforts to combat climate change and protect public health. Their legal action highlights the ongoing battle over climate policy and the role of environmental organizations in holding government agencies accountable.
