Together, you and Public Citizen are making a difference.

Here are just a few highlights from this year:

• The U.S. government is now putting in place Medicare drug pricing reforms and other rules that will save taxpayers and consumers more than $100 billion. That’s billion with a ‘b’! And it’s happening thanks to our advocacy.

• Donald Trump will be prosecuted in connection with the January 6 insurrection — a prosecution that likely would not have occurred without the persistent grassroots pressure that we helped mount.

• Michigan has passed a law outlawing political deepfakes. At least two dozen other states are poised to do so, and the Federal Election Commission is considering action at the national level. We’re leading the charge to prevent the deepfake sabotage of our democracy.

• A proposal for a dangerous fossil fuel facility in Florida was abandoned in the face of local advocacy we supported and after our legal interventions.

• We won lawsuits ensuring that the families of meatpacking workers who died from COVID-19 can hold accountable the businesses where their loved ones were exposed.

• In response to our petition, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration continues to work on a rule to protect workers — especially farm workers — from excessive heat.

And here are some of our top priorities for 2024:

• Continuing our push for a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court abomination known as Citizens United — with 22 states, 800 cities and towns, and the overwhelming majority of the American public on board.

• Intensifying our campaign to get insurers to stop fueling the climate crisis with their backing of fossil fuel projects even as climate impacts lead them to deny coverage to whole geographic areas.

• Mobilizing to protect election workers from intimidation and to head off any effort to sabotage the 2024 election.

• Fighting the privatization of Medicare and building support for Medicare for All.

• Demanding corporate criminals be held to account, with much more enforcement from the U.S. Department of Justice.

Public Citizen does not accept funding from Big Business or Uncle Sam. Our independence and integrity simply aren’t for sale.

Everything we do — to fight corporate power, to hold government accountable, to defend democracy — depends on individual supporters like you chipping in at moments like this.
