Deputy Editor, Public Interest Network
The Public Interest Network is a family of more than a dozen organizations that employ a full arsenal of strategies for social change, including organizing, advocacy, research and policy analysis, litigation and socially responsible investing. Together, we work on a wide array of issues, from air and water pollution to money in politics to the safety of our food systems to global warming.
Our member organizations include: the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG), Environment America, Environmental Action, Bold Alliance, Toxics Action Center, Green Century Capital Management, Green Corps, National Environmental Law Center, Frontier Group, Community Voters Project, Snowriders International, Accelerate Change, Voices for Progress and Impact.
For more than 40 years, the members of the network have shared a commitment to a model for success—one that embraces a strong culture of accountability, and organizing to win measurable results. These results include hundreds of laws, policies and other changes that have protected consumers, preserved the environment, and otherwise improved the quality of our lives. Over the years, our network has also recruited and trained thousands of people, many of whom have moved up to become leaders of our own network or elsewhere in the social change community.
