Overview

MASSPIRG helped found a Washington, D.C.-based federal advocacy office in 1983 to act as watchdog for the public interest in our nation's capital, much as the state PIRGs have worked to safeguard the public interest in state capitals since 1971. Our organization's roots at the state level, and U.S. PIRG members across the country, give us a unique "outside the beltway" perspective and provide the grassroots power necessary to influence the national policy debate.

Congressman Edward Markey (Mass.), Margie Alt., U.S PIRG Executive Director (left), Janet Domenitz, MASSPIRG Executive Director (right) discuss a pending Ethics Reform proposal.
