State PIRGs

State PIRGs (Public Interest Research Groups) are nonprofit organizations that advocate for policies benefiting the public and the environment at the state level. They focus on issues like consumer protection, clean energy, education, and government transparency. By conducting research, raising awareness, and mobilizing citizens, they aim to influence policymakers and promote positive social change. Essentially, they serve as independent watchdogs and advocates, working to ensure that government and businesses act in the best interest of the public, with a grassroots approach that encourages citizen participation.
