Legislative Priorities

The New Jersey Public Interest Research Group (NJPIRG) is an advocate for the public interest. We uncover threats to public health and well-being, and fight to remove these threats. Our mission is to deliver persistent, result-oriented advocacy that protects consumers’ rights and encourages a fair, sustainable economy. Read more.

Overview

NJPIRG 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.
