Court Cases
Our litigation targets the worst actors in the food system and protects the rights of those most directly harmed by Big Ag.
We bring strategic lawsuits to dismantle corporate consolidation of power in the meat industry and build power in the movement for a fair food system.
We are the lawyers for the fair food movement. Our attorney team uses the law to hold powerful corporations and our government accountable for the harms caused by industrial meat production. We get creative, bringing challenges from all angles to protect workers, consumers, rural communities, clean air and water, and a livable climate.
