About us
PIRG is an advocate for the public interest. We speak out for a healthier, safer world in which we’re freer to pursue our own individual well-being and the common good. All Americans want a healthier, safer, more secure future. PIRG works to find common ground around common sense solutions that will help make that future a reality. The problems we work on aren’t progressive or conservative. They’re just problems that our country shouldn’t tolerate in an age of great abundance and technological progress. PIRG and our network of state organizations have a 50 year track record of bringing people together around solutions that work, and not stopping until we get real results.

Great to speak with Tony Dokoupil and Adriana Diaz on CBS Mornings Plus about how to stay safe from ticket scams for this year's hottest shows. Don't let FOMO make you desperate to buy a sketchy ticket! Thanks to Cait Bladt for making it happen. https://lnkd.in/dMcmvdBF
