Holding corporations accountable through collective legal action.
Class actions are lawsuits brought by hundreds or even thousands of victims, all represented by a few lead plaintiffs. In the typical class action case, the individuals have suffered some harm or economic loss too small to bring individually, but combined, the losses demand justice.
