This year, PIRG faced a multitude of public interest challenges -- plastic pollution, climate change, and dangerous toxics like dicamba and PFAS. And we've worked hard to protect the public interest and make progress on all of these challenges and more.
Throughout the year, we've swiftly and effectively responded to these challenges with critical research, strategic advocacy and grassroots organizing. To help us continue standing up for the public interest, generous donors are matching gifts dollar for dollar, up to $50,000 nationwide, until midnight tonight.
Double your impact by making a matched gift to PIRG today.
When you give to PIRG, you're fueling the dedicated efforts of a network with a decades-long track record of success addressing some of our nation's most pressing issues. Here are just a few of the 2021 victories your support has made possible:
- We helped lead the charge to ban some of the worst single-use plastics in Colorado, Washington and Virginia. We also helped pass the first producer responsibility laws in the country, in Maine and Oregon, and an important truth in recycling law in California.
- A nationwide ban on most uses of the brain-damaging pesticide chlorpyrifos, following a years-long campaign by PIRG and our partners.1
- Landmark federal investments in clean transportation, lead-free drinking water, toxic waste cleanup and more in the PIRG-backed bipartisan infrastructure package signed into law by President Biden in November.2
- A momentous commitment from Apple to respect Right to Repair, which was made possible by PIRG's sustained advocacy and thousands of activists like you who called on the tech giant to loosen unfair repair restrictions on its devices.3
We've accomplished a lot together this year, and we're ready to go even further in 2022. Help us build on this year's progress by making a matched gift today.
Thank you for making it all possible,
Faye Park
President
