Impact

Impact is a team of organizers, working on behalf of groups like PIRG and Environment America. We work on campaigns for our environment, our democracy and our future. Our partner groups already have researchers, policy analysts and lobbyists working together on these campaigns. But research and lobbying aren?t always enough to get things done in American politics. It takes organizing. Impact organizers go to the places that often decide whether a campaign will be won or lost. It could be a state that?s home to a swing-vote senator on critical legislation. It could be a city where a key decision is being made about clean energy. By engaging the media, building new coalitions and activating civic leaders or student activists, our organizers not only help win campaigns now ? we set the stage for winning the next campaign, too. Mission:?We create timely, focused citizen action, energy and power ? the kind it takes to make an impact on important issues ? through campaigns run in targeted cities and states. Our organizers have helped win laws, policies and other changes to protect consumers and preserve the environment. Right now, our organizers are working in critical states to defend our environmental protections, stop the overuse of antibiotics on factory farms, and get campuses and cities to move to 100% renewable energy.
