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%.

Famous quotes containing the words alliance and/or justice:
“I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal.... Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
“If we do not maintain Justice, Justice will not maintain us.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
