March promises to be another exciting and fulfilling month for the Our Children’s Trust team and community, highlighted by oral arguments being held in Richmond, Virginia, on March 12 to get constitutional climate case Layla H. v. Commonwealth of Virginia back to where it belongs — in the courtroom.
Stand in solidarity with these brave young Virginians as they demand climate justice by attending the hearing in Richmond or help us spread the word on social media! Learn more here.
Meanwhile, last week the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit DENIED the Department of Justice's latest stonewalling in Juliana — a welcome but temporary victory for the 21 youth plaintiffs. However, the DOJ is still grasping at extreme legal tactics to block the youth plaintiffs from telling their stories in open court.
We were given just 21 days to make our case for why Juliana needs to be allowed to go to trial. That is why we are asking for your continued support. So far, you’ve helped us send more than 35,000 letters to the Biden Administration and the DOJ and we thank you! In addition, 70+ organizations have joined the #SaveJuliana coalition. Now is the time to keep powering forward, and we need you to keep it LOUD. Let’s make it impossible for President Biden and the DOJ to ignore us.
