Public Citizen

Public Citizen is a nonprofit consumer advocacy organization founded in 1971, dedicated to protecting health, safety, and democracy. With 400,000 members and supporters across the United States, the organization champions the public interest by resisting corporate power and ensuring that the government works for the people rather than for big corporations. Public Citizen does not engage in partisan political activities or accept government or corporate money. Instead, it leverages various tools, including mobilizing activists, watchdogging Congress, suing the government when needed, petitioning regulatory agencies, and conducting cutting-edge research to bring about change. Despite not having recent investment updates, Public Citizen's impactful work in the pharmaceutical industry is noteworthy.
