2020: Look back at your year with Earthjustice

In a year of unrelenting challenges, you accomplished extraordinary things. With your support, and despite the odds, Earthjustice's 160 lawyers represented 576 clients in hundreds of legal battles for our health, our wild places, and our climate. Take a look back at what we did together this year:

--------------------------------------------

We started the year celebrating the end of the Constitution Pipeline. This was the first of many instances where you helped to loosen the fossil fuel industry’s grip on our climate, lives, and lungs, battling polluting coal plants from Pennsylvania to South Africa.

Soon after, the COVID-19 pandemic changed how we live and work. Earthjustice quickly adapted, delivering court arguments by phone and video, and carefully mailing in our legal filings. But one thing remained constant: We work to hold the powerful accountable.

You helped us take on new work to ensure that the public’s voice would not be silenced, that electricity and water would not be shut off when it was so desperately needed, and that COVID-19 relief funds would be equitably and justly invested.


In the spring, you celebrated alongside the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe as their years-long fight against the Dakota Access pipeline was vindicated in court.

You helped save our nation’s rivers, lakes, and oceans, when Earthjustice prevailed over polluter interests in the “Clean Water Case of the Century” at the U.S. Supreme Court.


During the summer months, you saved hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands from illegal giveaways to the fossil fuel industry.

This fall, as fires raged in the west and hurricanes ravaged the southeast, we were forced to witness – and experience – the human toll of the climate crisis. In the face of our greatest collective challenge yet, painful reminders of the need to act on climate, you pushed forward with us to help solve the climate crisiscreate solutions.

Together, we are moving urgently to zero emissions with the passage of the nation’s first electric truck mandate and $500 million in new investments in electrification of transportation.


This winter, as we prepare for the incoming administration, remember that together, we held the line during four years of unlawful assaults on our environment, prevailing in more than 80% of our legal challenges to rein in some of the worst overreach of the Trump administration.

In this moment of transformative change, with you by our side, we will continue to build a thriving, equitable, and climate-resilient world.
