Honoring dedicated friends who have supported Earthjustice for\u00a025\u00a0years\u00a0or\u00a0more.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

The Amicus Society<\/strong> is a group of supporters who have shown their steadfast commitment to the work of Earthjustice and to protecting our environment through 25 years or more of giving.<\/p>\r\n

The commitment and generosity of Amicus Society members is truly inspiring and has helped make possible some of Earthjustice’s most historic victories. With Amicus Society members by our side, we have fought to end old-growth logging in the western United States. They were with us when wolves were reintroduced to their native range of Yellowstone National Park.<\/p>\r\n

Today, they are still with us as we wage critical battles to protect community health and combat climate change.<\/p>\r\n\t

Dedication and Unwavering Commitment<\/h2>\r\n

Earthjustice often achieves legal victories<\/a> by filing amicus briefs. Amicus curiae,<\/em> meaning “friend of the court,” is a critically important tool that boosts our ability to wield the power of law to protect people’s health, preserve magnificent places and wildlife, advance clean energy, and combat climate change.<\/p>\r\n

We chose to name the group the Amicus Society in recognition of the longstanding support and involvement of these friends in our past and future success.<\/p>\r\n

Amicus Society members’ unwavering commitment reflects their understanding that court battles to protect our environment are not won overnight, but often take many years to resolve.<\/p>\r\n

We thank the Amicus Society for\u00a0their\u00a0dedication to the\u00a0environment and\u00a0to\u00a0Earthjustice.<\/p>\r\n
