NYPIRG is the single most important good government group in New York City and New York State. NYPIRG does it all. Not only does NYPIRG deliver a tremendous bang for the donor's buck, it is the rare public interest group with tremendous policy expertise, and an energetic and highly effective team of advocates able to organize the public across New York State and city. NYPIRG is an invaluable institution and should be supported by all public minded New Yorkers.

It is hard to be an organization with two distinct missions. For NYPIRG it is advocacy on behalf of the environment and the people, and also to train new leaders for communities. And NYPIRG does it so beautifully and successfully, and has done it for decades. I worked on a variety of projects along side of them over the years, am a long-time donor, and a colleague to leadership and canvassers, and in each instance, my efforts were multiplied, I learned new strategies and techniques, and was inspired by everyone I touched. The accomplishments of NYPIRG are many, and their legacy is recorded in NY State laws, policies, and regulations, and in the legions of activist citizens and professionals they have trained.
