The Public Interest Research Group in Michigan (PIRGIM) is a non-profit that serves to address the social, economical, and political needs of the public. Whether its threats to consumers, the environment, health & safety, or even the financial security of ordinary citizens, PIRGIM uses grassroots organizing, advocacy and litigation, investigative research, and media exposés to drive change.

Join the PIRGIM team on Tuesday, August 25 from 4:00-5:15pm, as they walk through the day in the life of a political advocacy organization. They’ll also address potential solutions to the unprecedented challenges voters face with the Fall’s upcoming federal virtual election.
