Alliance for Justice (AFJ) is a national association of environmental, civil rights, mental health, women's, children's and consumer advocacy organizations in the USA.
In 1979, 20 advocacy organizations joined to form the Alliance for Justice under its founder, Nan Aron. Since its inception, Alliance for Justice has worked to advance the cause of justice for all Americans, to strengthen the public interest community's ability to influence public policy, and to foster the next generation of advocates.
In 2004, AJF expanded with the launch of its West Coast office. This office expanded West Coast operations by more than 50%.
Alliance for Justice focuses on four main areas of advocacy, representing Judicial, Foundation, Nonprofit, and Student interests.

Famous quotes containing the words alliance and/or justice:
“An alliance is like a chain. It is not made stronger by adding weak links to it. A great power like the United States gains no advantage and it loses prestige by offering, indeed peddling, its alliances to all and sundry. An alliance should be hard diplomatic currency, valuable and hard to get, and not inflationary paper from the mimeograph machine in the State Department.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“The state does not demand justice of its members, but thinks that it succeeds very well with the least degree of it, hardly more than rogues practice; and so do the neighborhood and the family. What is commonly called Friendship even is only a little more honor among rogues.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
