Watch this short message from some of the Juliana youth - including a sweet outtake from youth plaintiff Levi’s little sister!
TELL THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE: STOP OPPOSING YOUTH ACCESS TO COURTS!
As you saw in the film, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has taken extraordinary measures over the last seven years, across three Presidential administrations (both Democrat and Republican), to delay, impede, and try to dismiss the Juliana case. Their goal? To prevent these young plaintiffs from proceeding to trial where evidence of how their own government is causing them harm can be heard by a judge.

Call, email, or tweet the Department of Justice and Attorney General Merrick Garland today: Urge him to end DOJ opposition to Juliana v. U.S. proceeding to trial! ([link removed])

Now, more than ever, the sacred responsibility of the U.S. judiciary to protect the unalienable Constitutional rights of all Americans is on our minds. Only after trial, when the evidence is presented, can a court truly judge this constitutional case and determine if our young people’s rights have been violated and decide whether the U.S. Constitution protects our atmosphere - what James Madison called “the breath of life ([link removed]) ” - on which our youth depend.

These 21 young Americans are fighting for their day in court, where they can finally present evidence of how the government is violating their Fifth Amendment rights to life, liberty, property, public trust, and equal protection of the law. Their claims are constitutional and they deserve to be heard by an impartial judge - but first the DOJ must end their historically aggressive campaign to close the courthouse doors on these young plaintiffs.

Tell the DOJ today:
* These youth deserve their day in court, as is their right
* Their evidence deserves to be heard by a judge, just like any other constitutional case

CONTACT THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TODAY ([link removed]) :
LET THE YOUTH BE HEARD! ([link removed])

Together, toward justice,
