The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) is a New York statewide student-directed, non-partisan, not for profit political organization. It has existed since 1973.[1] Its current executive director is Blair Horner and its founding director was Donald K. Ross.
NYPIRG is directed by a student-run and student-elected Board of Directors. Any issue that NYPIRG works on, or stance it takes, must be approved by its student board of directors.[2] Damien Andrade, student of Brooklyn College, is the current chairperson of NYPIRG's Board of Directors. NYPIRG is one of the largest of the Public Interest Research Groups, which were inspired by Ralph Nader in the 1970s,[3] and operate at the state level. After leaving Columbia University, former U.S. PresidentBarack Obama worked at NYPIRG at its City College Chapter.[4]
NYPIRG works on a variety of socioeconomic issues such as college affordability, consumer protection, sustainable energy, government accountability, hunger & homelessness, public transportation in New York City, and voter rights.[5]
NYPIRG has an office in lower Manhattan, New York City, and a legislative office located in Albany.[6] NYPIRG also operates in dozens of campus and regional offices statewide.
