What is a PIRG?
a PIRG is an advocate for the public interest. We speak out for a healthier, safer world in which we’re freer to pursue our own individual well-being and the common good.
PIRGs works to find common ground around common sense solutions that will help make that future a reality. 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.

Our Approach
We value ideas and policies that both improve the quality of our lives now and put us on a path to a better future.
For every issue we work on, we have a bold vision of how to transform our country. But we understand that change comes one step at a time, and often powerful interests are standing in the way. Our focus is on making a difference for the public, not just making a statement.
We’ve successfully advocated for changes that have resulted in more recycling and less waste, healthier and safer choices in the marketplace, and greater accountability in government.
