All Issues

Issue | Safe Energy

Campaign for Safe Energy

For decades, PennPIRG has campaigned against nuclear power. It's inherently dangerous, potentially catastrophic, and a terrible investment for our country.

Issue | Tax

Close Corporate Tax Loopholes

No company should be able to game the tax system to avoid paying what it legitimately owes. And yet, establishing shell companies in offshore havens for the purpose of tax avoidance is becoming more the rule than the exception for at least 83 of the nation's top 100 publicly traded companies.

Issue | Health Care

Making Health Care Work

Now the fight for health care reform is in Harrisburg, and so are the health care industry’s lobbyists. At stake is how we set up a new insurance marketplace in Pennsylvania — the single biggest tool we have to clean up health care.

Issue | Consumer Protection

Protecting Consumers

PennPIRG’s consumer program works to alert the public to hidden dangers and scams and to ban anti-consumer practices and unsafe products.

Issue | Budget, Consumer Protection, Transportation

Protecting Public Assets

Road, parking, and other privatization proposals offer a hard-to-resist “quick fix” for state budget and transportation challenges. But poorly conceived privatization deals can have hidden costs and big potential downsides for the public.

Issue | Financial Reform

Reining in Wall Street

We’re fighting for a financial regulatory system that guarantees consumers and taxpayers are protected from the predatory practices at the heart of this problem.

Issue | Food

Stop Subsidizing Obesity

Our tax dollars should only go to things that serve the public good, yet we’re handing out taxpayer subsidies to big agribusinesses to help subsidize junk food.

Tools & Resources

Priority Action

The Stop Tax Havens Abuse Act would put an end to the price and profit shifting that allows publicly traded companies to engage in pervasive tax avoidance.
