Public Interest Organizations

Public interest organizations are non-profit groups that advocate for issues benefiting the general public or specific communities. They aim to promote social justice, environmental protection, consumer rights, and other causes that serve the common good. These organizations often engage in research, education, policy advocacy, and legal action to influence laws and practices. By representing the needs and rights of the public, they help hold governments and corporations accountable, ensuring that decisions reflect the interests of society as a whole rather than just powerful entities. Examples include environmental groups, civil rights organizations, and public health advocates.
