Alcohol Justice is a San Rafael-based nonprofit organization that acts as an alcohol industry watchdog, scrutinizing the political influence and marketing power of global beverage corporations. Formerly known as Marin Institute, the group advocates for reforms in industry practices and how they are regulated. It combines research, policy work, media engagement, and advocacy to mobilize coalitions around its public health goals, such as raising alcohol prices through taxes and fees, removing products deemed dangerous or youth-oriented, and restricting alcohol advertising and promotional activity. The organization’s work targets policymakers, regulators, and the broader public health community, aiming to inform debates and drive regulatory change rather than to promote industry adoption. Based in San Rafael, California, it operates as a small to mid-sized nonprofit focused on accountability in the alcohol sector. In 2025, Alcohol Justice publicly criticized the exposure of approximately 30 million underage individuals to alcohol advertisements during the Super Bowl, reflecting its emphasis on youth protection and advertising oversight.
