Mission Statement
EarthRights is a nongovernmental, nonprofit organization that combines the power of law and the power of people in defense of human rights and the environment, which we define as “earth rights.” We specialize in fact-finding, legal actions against perpetrators of earth rights abuses, training grassroots and community leaders, and advocacy campaigns. Through these strategies, EarthRights seeks to end earth rights abuses, to provide real solutions for real people, and to promote and protect human rights and the environment in the communities where we work.
About This Cause
EarthRights International (EarthRights) stands with communities in pursuit of a world in which every person lives with the dignity of justice and human rights on a planet where precious resources are shared equitably and preserved for the future. EarthRights is a team of community organizers, campaigners, and legal strategists who challenge powerful corporations, governments, and banks that violate peoples’ rights and destroy our planet for profit. We are part of a global network of earth rights defenders who aim to protect our planet for the future. We seek a world in which catastrophic climate change is averted, corporations and governments respect human rights, and earth rights defenders freely and effectively carry out their work without fear of criminalization, harassment, or attack in defense of human rights and the environment. Our vision reflects a world confronting a tipping point on the global climate crisis, and one in which unrestrained corporate power and influence result in human rights violations in local communities and against those who seek to protect them. Our vision also reflects our unshakable faith in the power of communities and movements to shift power and make real and lasting change. It reflects our belief in EarthRights’ ability to support this change through our training of community activists, our global campaigning and advocacy, and our strategic legal work. For EarthRights, the current global scenario is not cause for despair but for renewed energy to stand with our global civil society partners to demand justice and accountability.
