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%.

Famous quotes containing the words alliance and/or justice:
“Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life’s duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!”
—Barry Goldwater (b. 1909)
