Causa de Justicia was a revolutionary social justice movement that was active in the United States of Mexico during and after the Global War. Causa de Justicia was led by a Mexicano politician in Durango named Armondo Santa Cruz, who demanded land for poor Mexicano peasants. Santa Cruz was strongly anti-black, and in addition to bombing Anglo and Hispano areas of Durango, Causa de Justicia also fought several battles against the sourthern branch of the Black Justice Party led by Miguel Calhoun.

President Alvin Silva claimed that Causa de Justicia was being financed by Kramer Associates, and that agents from Kramer were directing the organization's attacks. At its height, Causa de Justicia numbered 20,000 members. After the Mercator Coup, the Constabulary was able to crush Causa de Justicia, and its remaining members were forced to withdraw into the mountains.
