Mission Statement:
U.S. PIRG speaks up for the public interest against the special interests, on issues in the news and below the surface. When consumers are victims of private greed, U.S. PIRG is there; when average citizens suffer from an absence or an excess of government bureaucracy, U.S. PIRG is there; when our natural environment is threatened, U.S. PIRG is there. As a public interest watchdog organization, we uncover dangers to public health and wellbeing and fight to end them, using the time-tested tools of investigative research, media exposes, grassroots organizing, advocacy, and litigation. We deliver persistent, results-oriented public interest activism to achieve real change that improves the quality of our environment, of our government, and of individual lives.
