People. Power. Progress. 

Join Us for a year-long celebration

At Public Citizen, we have been standing up to corporate bullies, government agencies, and protecting our democracy for 50 years. Together with our more than 500,000 members and supporters, we plan to keep right on doing that for the next 50. 

Join us for a year-long celebration of our past 50 years and help create our vision for the future. This is a pivotal year to chart a course together as we develop a high impact agenda that sharpens our ability to make bold, powerful change.

Our 50th Anniversary plans include a number of exciting programs that will inspire and energize our community for the next decade and beyond.
