Impact Fund

Impact Fund Strategic Litigation for Social Justice Impact Fund acts as co-counsel on select cases where its expertise is most helpful.

Our organization has three main functions:

First, our Grant Making Program awards funding to public interest lawyers to advance costs in systemic impact litigation. Since its inception, this program has awarded over $7 million dollars, which has facilitated a wide range of impact litigation across the nation. Second, our Equal Justice Litigation Program provides counseling, advice and assistance

on procedural and substantive issues that arise in complex litigation. Our legal team organizes amicus efforts on civil rights and class action lawsuits addressing both legal questions and procedural issues. We are also a designated Support Center for Legal Service Projects funded by the California State Bar Association's Legal Services Trust Fund. Third, we provide high-quality training programs on various aspects of class action and impact litigation. Programs are conducted several times per year in various locations across California, as well as on the Web. In addition, we offer an annual intensive three-day Class Action Training Institute. The Impact Fund provides a discounted rate for these trainings to lawyers in the nonprofit sector.

The Trump administration is buying up industrial warehouses across the U.S. to detain tens of thousands of immigrants. Earthjustice is leveraging environmental laws to fight back.​

Detaining migrants in warehouses is cruel, inhumane, and a public health disaster waiting to happen. These detention facilities are being fast-tracked without environmental reviews or meaningful public input.​

We're using laws like the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to stop construction of these warehouse detention centers. And we won't back down.
