The Justice Party USA is a political party in the United States. It was first organized in November 2011 to place Rocky Anderson, a former Mayor of Salt Lake City, on the ballot for President of the United States in 2012.^[1][2]

In December 2011, it became a qualified party in Mississippi, the first state to recognize the party.^[3] It describes itself as advocating economic justice through measures such as green jobs and a right to organize, environment justice through enforcing employee safeguards in trade agreements, and social and civic justice through universal health care. On February 29, 2012, the Justice Party became certified for ballot access in Utah. In it first press release, the Utah Justice Party iterated its goals for justice in the economic, environmental, social and civic realms, along with a call to rid the corrupting influence of big money from government, to reverse the erosion of rights guaranteed by the Constitution, and to stop draining our nation's resources to support illegal wars of aggression. Its press release says its grassroots supporters believe that now is the time for all to "shed their skeptical view that their voices don't matter", that "our 2-party system is a 'duopoly' controlled by the the [sic?] same corporate and military interests", and that the people must act to ensure "that our nation will achieve a brighter, sustainable future."^{[cite this quote]}
