Earthjustice

Earthjustice is a non-profit public interest law firm based in the United States that specializes in cases protecting natural resources, safeguarding public health, and promoting clean energy. It is headquartered in San Francisco, has nine regional offices across the United States, an international department, a communications team, and a policy team in Washington, DC.

Earthjustice was named one of America’s 100 best charities by Worth magazine and receives the highest 4 star rating from Charity Navigator.

The organization is recognized for its memorable tagline "Because the earth needs a good lawyer," which was voted in a 2009 online contest as one of the best nonprofit taglines out of 1,702 entries.

In 2010, Earthjustice launched an innovative fundraising campaign using the popular location-based social networking app, foursquare. The ad campaign, which ran in billboards in San Francisco's BART system, gained national recognition as one of the first successful nonprofit uses of foursquare, and was featured in media outlets such as the New York Times, Mashable, and MacLife magazine, as well as books such as Carmine Gallo's The Power of Foursquare.
