All Issues

Issue | Democracy

Campaign Finance Reform

In 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court threw out 6 decades of established law by granting corporations the right to use their incredible wealth and power to influence elections. To stanch the flow of money into future elections, NJPIRG is supporting bills in a number of states and at the federal level that would force corporations to get approval from their shareholders before spending money in politics.

Issue | Safe Energy

Campaign for Safe Energy

For decades, NJPIRG has campaigned against nuclear power. It's inherently dangerous, potentially catastrophic, and a terrible investment for our country.

Issue | Budget, Tax

Close Corporate Tax Loopholes

No company should be able to game the tax system to avoid paying what it legitimately owes. And, yet, establishing shell companies in offshore havens for the purpose of tax avoidance is becoming more the rule than the exception for at least 83 of the nation's top 100 publicly traded companies.

Issue | Health Care

Making Health Care Work

Now the fight for health care reform is in Trenton, and so are the health care industry’s lobbyists. At stake is how we set up a new insurance marketplace in New Jersey — the single biggest tool we have to clean up health care.

Issue | Consumer Protection

Protecting Consumers

NJPIRG’s consumer program works to alert the public to hidden dangers and scams and to ban anti-consumer practices and unsafe products.

Issue | Financial Reform

Reining in Wall Street

We’re fighting for a financial regulatory system that guarantees consumers and taxpayers are protected from the predatory practices at the heart of this problem.

Issue | Budget, Food

Stop Subsidizing Obesity

Our tax dollars should only go to things that serve the public good, yet we’re handing out taxpayer subsidies to big agribusinesses to help subsidize junk food.

Tools & Resources

Priority Action

The Stop Tax Havens Abuse Act would put an end to the price and profit shifting that allows publicly traded companies to engage in pervasive tax avoidance.
