Justice PAC is a political action committee that targets donations to candidates running for state and local courts across the United States that support abortion access. ¹

Background

Justice PAC is a political action committee that solicits donations to candidates running for state and local courts across the United States that support abortion access, as well as candidates it considers “pro-democracy.” ¹

The organization contends, “democracy and reproductive rights are fundamental pillars of a just society.” It further states, “Our mission is to identify, support, and elect pro-democracy and pro-reproductive rights candidates to state and local courts across the United States.” ¹

The organization further says state and local courts make important decisions on voting rights, reproductive freedoms, civil liberties, and criminal justice reform. ¹

The PAC argues that “far right billionaires have been spending millions for years to elect justices that serve their interests,” and that “Justice PAC exists to give us a voice in these fights.” ¹

Justice PAC says it is committed to providing resources to judicial candidates that share its values. The PAC also focuses on voter education through informing the public on the significance of state and local judicial elections. ¹

Fundraising Strategy

Justice PAC raises money through the ActBlue portal, which is an online fundraising tool for Democratic politicians and liberal organizations. ²

As of June 2025, there were no available records with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) about fundraising or supporting candidates. ³

The Justice PAC fundraising pitch says, “Donald Trump and far-right billionaires attacked our judicial system. We refuse to turn a blind eye while corrupt judges and justices destroy our democracy and reproductive freedoms.” The organization continues: “If you seriously don’t care about saving democracy and reproductive freedoms…FINE. Close this page and walk away. But if you DO CARE, then we need you to dig deep and donate $20 to Justice PAC now!” ²
