​
Public Citizen Founded in 1971, Public Citizen defends democracy + fights to ensure that government works for the people, not big corporations. It brings suits when the government fails to do its job and petitions regulatory agencies to safeguard the public. Since Trump’s inauguration, they have brought cases to protect information DOGE is trying to access + to stop the freeze on foreign aid as a violation of separation of powers, which was favorably decided by the US Supreme Court. Public Citizen has called for an investigation into Trump’s promotion of his “Official Trump Meme,” a probable violation of federal law that forbids the president from soliciting gifts. They Co-chair a coalition of legal, good government and grassroots groups combating attacks on the rule of law.
