Anonymous, do we have this right? Our records show that you haven't donated yet to our 2020 Fiscal Year-End Drive.
There's no better time to give -- gifts made before midnight will be matched up to $10,000 nationwide, doubling the impact of your donation.
Our problems don't come just one at a time. As we grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, the plastics industry is asking for a $1 billion bailout, and Roundup continues to be widely used despite its main ingredient being a probable human carcinogen.1,2
But U.S. PIRG has a 45-year record of success tackling our country's most pressing challenges through independent research, organizing and tough-minded advocacy.
Supporters like you are why we were able to pivot rapidly to address the unprecedented challenges of the coronavirus pandemic -- while still working to move our country beyond plastic and campaigning to ban Roundup.
Make a matched donation today to fuel all of our work in the public interest.
Thank you for all you do,
Faye

Here's how your support makes a difference: When you give to U.S. PIRG, you're fueling the research and advocacy of a network with a 45-year record of success addressing some of our nation's most pressing challenges. Together, we're:
- Combating COVID-19: We've assembled a COVID-19 response team of policy experts, researchers and organizers to advocate for better public health safeguards, get critical medical supplies to the health care workers who need them, and protect consumers from predatory price gouging. Donate now >>
- Moving our country beyond plastic: We're calling on states to ban the worst single-use plastics, building support for the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act in Congress, and opposing the plastic industry's efforts to get a taxpayer-funded bailout. Donate now >>
- Campaigning to ban Roundup: We're working to ban Roundup and other toxic pesticides in states across the country, unless and until they're proven safe. Donate now >>
When you donate, you make your voice heard by decision-makers at all levels of government, you enable even more communities to participate in our strategic campaigns, and you fund our research to find solutions for problems we should no longer tolerate in the 21st century.
Thank you for your support,
Faye Park
