Founded in 1971, Public Citizen is an à la carte, full-service progressive non-profit, meaning your support funds multiple public interest research and advocacy efforts: safe and effective health care, auto safety, good government, safe and sustainable energy, consumer safety, and fair, equitable trade and globalization. Why focus on a single issue?
We do it all!
“It is hard to exaggerate the importance of the role that Public Citizen has played for many years in helping those who care about this country become public citizens in the best sense of the word: informed, focused on critical issues, and in a position to act constructively.” — Noam Chomsky
Who I'd like to meet:
Because Public Citizen does not accept funds from corporations, professional associations or government agencies, we can remain independent and follow the truth wherever it may lead.
But that means we depend on the generosity of concerned citizens like you for the resources to fight on behalf of the public interest. If you would like to help us in our fight, click here.

Thanks for adding me. ¶ Our problems are diverse, but to address any of them we must also face their common root: Bullies, liars, thieves, murderers (including those in politics) all believe people are motivated only by greed & fear. They'd like us to share that belief, because they use it to justify themselves & to manipulate us. But we've found LOVE inside ourselves & our friends; it's in EVERYONE if we can just wake them. Spread the word. ¶ The war against Iraq began 5 years ago. Like most wars, it's based on lies. The occupation makes new enemies faster than it can kill them; that's helpful only to arms dealers. Let's end the military-industrial complex. ¶ Don't scapegoat the immigrants — they're flooding into our economy only because we wrecked theirs. So-called "free trade" is a lie, giving investors but not workers freedom to seek a better deal. The market's "efficiency" is a lie, externalizing costs, perpetuating inefficiencies of war, poverty, disease. The rich get richer and fewer; everyone else gets screwed. The corporatocracy is cruel & stupid. Let's end it before it kills the ecosystem. ¶ We need government control over business, not the other way around; government should be by & for the PEOPLE. Transparency in government, public financing of election campaigns, trustbusting the media, ending corporate personhood would be a good start. Politicians should fear for their jobs; citizens shouldn't fear their government. Most of all, more people must get involved. ¶ Question authority. Carry on the struggle. Hold onto hope. Keep singing. — Eric
