Mission

Masspirg is an advocate for the public interest. When consumers are cheated or the voices of ordinary citizens are drowned out by special interest lobbyists, masspirg speaks up and takes action. We uncover threats to public health and well-being and fight to end them using the time-tested tools of investigative research, media exposes, grassroots organizing, advocacy and litigation. Masspirg's mission is to deliver persistent, results-oriented public interest activism that protects consumers, encourages a fair, sustainable economy, and fosters a responsive, democratic government.
