Alliance for Justice (AFJ) is a national association of 130 organizations, representing a broad array of groups committed to democratic values and the creation of an equitable, just, and free society. For 40 years we have been leaders in the fight for a more equitable society on behalf of a broad constituency of civil and women's rights, environmental, consumer, LGBTQIA+, children's, senior citizens' and other groups. Alliance for Justice is premised on the belief that all Americans have the right to secure justice in the courts and to have their voices heard when government makes decisions that affect their lives.
Bolder Advocacy, a flagship program of Alliance for Justice, advances and protects the role of nonprofits in influencing public policy by helping organizations fully understand the legal rules governing advocacy activities and become assertive in their right to pursue their policy goals. Bolder Advocacy also offers capacity assessment tools for nonprofits and foundations looking to build strength in advocacy and/or community organizing. By tracking and responding to legislation that affects nonprofit advocacy, fighting for the rights of nonprofits and foundations to conduct advocacy, and responding to potential threats to nonprofit advocacy, we lay the groundwork for more nonprofit organizations to advocate effectively on behalf of their communities. AFJ is headquartered in Washington, DC, with offices in Southern and Northern California and Texas. For more information about Bolder Advocacy, please visit www.bolderadvocacy.org.
