We advance social and environmental justice by building a movement of people who know, use, and shape the law.
About us
Law is supposed to be one of our most powerful tools for advancing justice. But for billions of people around the world, the law is broken. It’s an abstraction—or worse, a threat. Namati and members of the Grassroots Justice Network advance justice by building a movement of people who know, use, and shape the laws that affect them. Namati and our partners train and deploy community paralegals to take on some of the greatest injustices of our times. Together with the communities we serve, we strive to translate the lessons from our grassroots experience into positive, large-scale changes to laws and systems. Namati convenes the Grassroots Justice Network—over 3,000 groups and 12,000 individuals from every part of the world. Members are learning from one another, advocating together, and joining forces to bring justice everywhere.

The top two asks we hear from frontline climate justice defenders: Protection and Funding. Thrilled to share a way forward to fund legal support for communities responding to land-based investment with Rights and Resources Initiative and Just Ground. After speaking to hundreds of frontline communities and private sector actors, we have a plan for a pooled fund that allows the private sector to take responsibility for resource legal and technical support for communities impacted by land-based investment. #ClimateWeekNYC Read the full report here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gJ28GxzU

The environmental crisis is a justice crisis and plastic pollution is not an exception. Frontline communities are paying the price for plastics every step of the way: from production to purported recycling to disposal of single-use plastics. Negotiators of a global plastic treaty need to listen to the voices that are the most impacted. Namati CEO Vivek Maru calls on the US to take a bold stance.
