Protecting Democracy [1]

American democracy is in jeopardy, from the disastrous Citizens United ruling that flooded our politics with corporate cash to the immoral assault on voting rights. We work every day to defend against these threats and advance bold reforms.

Making Government Work [2]

The U.S. government should work for the public, not corporations or industry. It should safeguard consumers, workers and the environment, and be funded well enough to do so. The budget process must not be obstructed by partisanship.

Consumer & Worker Safeguards [3]

Every day, Big Banks, Big Tech, and their armies of corporate lobbyists threaten our economy, our financial security, and our democracy – sacrificing Main Street Americans and our families on the altar of corporate profits. Public Citizen advocates for ordinary people by taking on corporate interests and their cronies in government.

Safe & Affordable Drugs & Devices [4]

Prescription drugs are unaffordable and new drugs and devices often are approved without being proven safe and effective. Public Citizen challenges Big Pharma, device manufacturers and federal regulators to make drugs and medical devices safe, effective and accessible to all.

Health Care [5]

Health care in the U.S. leaves too many people out, costs too much and doesn’t meet acceptable standards of quality. Much of the care that we get is unaffordable, unnecessary or harmful. Public Citizen advocates Medicare for All, stronger oversight of dangerous doctors and safe clinical trials.

Globalization & Trade [6]

As Public Citizen’s division fighting for a fairer global economy, Global Trade Watch works to expose and challenge trade policies that put corporate profits over people.

Under Donald Trump, that mission faces a new urgency. Trump has won two elections in part by exploiting working people’s real frustrations about an increasingly complex and unequal global economy, yet his trade agenda serves only himself and his billionaire allies.

Global Trade Watch seeks to hold him accountable, resist corporate rollbacks, and advance a global trade vision that uplifts workers across borders.

Climate & Energy [7]

The climate crisis is the challenge of our time. We can fix it with solutions that will make us healthier and more economically secure. We must act quickly to make our economy run on renewable power — and ensure that disadvantaged families and displaced workers share equitably in the new economy. We also must fight the corrupting power of fossil fuel companies and ensure that energy regulators are effective and publicly accountable.
