Public Interest Research Group

The Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) is a nonprofit organization that advocates for policies benefiting the public and environment. They conduct research to highlight key issues like consumer rights, pollution, and sustainability, then mobilize citizens through campaigns and lobbying efforts to influence legislation and corporate practices. PIRGs operate at the state and national levels, working independently from political parties, to promote transparency, accountability, and social progress. Their goal is to empower ordinary people to participate in shaping policies that protect public health and ensure a sustainable future.
