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:
“Racism as a form of skin worship, and as a sickness and a pathological anxiety for America, is so great, until the poor whites—rather than fighting for jobs or education—fight to remain pink and fight to remain white. And therefore they cannot see an alliance with people that they feel to be inherently inferior.”
—Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)
“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is in an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.”
—Frederick Douglass (c.1817–1895)
