About

Through research, public education and outreach, we serve as counterweights to the influence of powerful special interests that threaten our health, safety or well-being.

PIRG President Faye Park talks to CBS news about toxic ingredients in children's makeup.

All Americans want a healthier, safer, more secure future. U.S. PIRG Education Fund works to find common ground around common sense solutions that will help make that future a reality. Whether it’s highlighting the overuse of antibiotics in agriculture, researching solutions to our country’s plastic waste crisis, or educating policy makers on ways we can transform our transportation systems to tackle climate change, the problems we work on aren’t progressive or conservative. They’re just problems that our country shouldn’t tolerate in an age of great abundance and technological progress.

Working together

Even in deeply divided moments, all Americans want a healthier, safer, more secure future. Our advocates in the states build coalitions that include people from all walks of life. Our advocates in Washington, D.C., seek out common ground and work with members of Congress from both parties. Our organizers and canvassers engage literally hundreds of thousands of people. Our members and activists live in all 50 states.
