CALPIRG (California Public Interest Research Group) is a California-based nonprofit advocacy organization focused on public-interest outcomes in health, safety, and consumer protection. It pursues practical, nonpartisan solutions to challenges that affect daily life, such as removing lead from drinking water or protecting consumers from unfair marketplace practices. The group emphasizes issue-driven work rather than affiliation with a particular political ideology, aiming to inform policy debates and advance the common good for Californians. Based in Sacramento, CALPIRG operates within the political organizations sector and serves residents of California through research, campaigns, and advocacy. It is a small-to-mid-sized organization with a mission-driven team delivering public-facing analyses and policy-focused efforts. A recent development is the December 2023 release of the 'Trouble in Toyland' report, which informs parents and other shoppers about toys that may pose safety hazards.
