Seeking Justice. Exposing Causes. Protecting Families.
A foundation built to document the fight and demand accountability
The Autism Justice Foundation is a Florida 501(c)(4) that documents the causes of autism and chronic childhood illness, presses for reform at the agencies that set vaccine policy, and organizes the families living with the consequences.
Our mission
Autism is now identified in 1 in 31 American eight-year-olds, up from roughly 1 in 150 two decades ago, and the families living with it deserve a documented answer about why. The Foundation exists to pursue that answer without deference to the institutions whose track record is itself part of the story, and to make the underlying record public so anyone can weigh the evidence.
Our founders and advisory board hold that the expanding childhood vaccine schedule is a leading, and preventable, contributor to that rise. Major public-health bodies disagree and continue to find no causal link. We report both, cite the primary documents, and track what federal and state governments actually do about it. We work alongside the Make America Healthy Again movement to press for transparency of vaccine-safety data, independent review of the schedule, and reform at the FDA, CDC, and HHS.
Expose the causes
Surface and review research on environmental and pharmaceutical contributors to autism, and hold the agencies that oversee them accountable.
Inform the public
Translate hearings, studies, and federal action into plain-language reporting, with the primary sources attached and mainstream disagreement noted.
Protect families
Advocate for informed consent, transparent schedule-setting, and support and referrals for affected families and caregivers.
Build the record
Keep a dated, sourced tracker of hearings, studies, and federal and state actions so the history of this fight cannot be rewritten later.
How we are organized
Autism Justice Foundation is a DBA of Justice for Autism, a Florida-based 501(c)(4) social-welfare organization. That status allows us to advocate on policy; it also means contributions are generally not tax-deductible as charitable gifts.
Vaccine Veritas is the Foundation's public outreach arm, not a separate charity. Our media campaigns and social channels run under that name.
Funds custody, compliance, and annual independent audit are handled by American Caging, Inc.
What we do, and what we don't
We do: document, report, and build the public record; advocate for review of vaccine safety and informed consent; organize families, volunteers, and callers to Congress; and refer families to resources.
We don't: provide medical care or individual medical advice, act as anyone's attorney, or claim more than the sources support. Where we mention lawyers or firms, those are strategic referral relationships, not AJF counsel.
