PublicCitizen

Public Citizen is a non-profit, non-partisan advocacy organization based in the United States. Founded in 1971 by Ralph Nader, the organization aims to promote public interest by influencing public policy and protecting the public interest in the areas of health, consumer protection, the environment, and the civil liberties of all Americans. Public Citizen operates through a variety of initiatives, including research, advocacy, and litigation, to address issues such as healthcare reform, financial regulation, and environmental protection. The organization is known for its advocacy on behalf of consumers, patients, and the environment, and it often challenges government policies and corporate practices that it believes are detrimental to the public interest. Public Citizen's work is funded through a combination of individual donations, grants, and membership fees. The organization's mission is to empower citizens to participate in the democratic process and to ensure that government actions are guided by the interests of the public.
