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 Polluters, and Big Tech companies are threatening our economy, our environment, 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 the division of Public Citizen that fights for a fairer global economy, we face unique challenges working on trade policy under Donald Trump’s presidency.

Trump has now twice won elections in part by weaponizing the very real frustrations many American voters have with their place in an increasingly complex and unequal global economy.

But instead of a real plan to uplift working people, Trump’s trade agenda is just another ploy to enrich himself and his billionaire friends.

Global Trade Watch seeks to hold Trump accountable and reveal the lie behind his faux populist claims. We will work to avoid the worst outcomes of his agenda, and where rare opportunities for progress arise, we will seize them. We will resist corporate attempts to revert to neoliberalism, and maintain our focus on creating a sustainable vision of global trade 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.

It’s the least exciting time of the year!

With no plans to electrify its full fleet and only one EV on the market, Toyota is committed to boring.

Toyota lobbied against tax breaks for electric vehicles (EVs) and opposed requirements to sell them.

We need a rapid transition to electric vehicles — and a revamp of our transportation systems — to end our reliance on fossil fuels.

Tell Toyota to put its anti-climate action in reverse and commit to producing only electric vehicles by 2030 in the U.S.

As the largest global auto manufacturer, Toyota has the ability to shift the worldwide market on EVs. Toyota must leave its boring, polluting vehicles in the rearview mirror. East Peterson-Trujillo, senior clean vehicles campaigner
