Issue | Tax

Close Corporate Tax Loopholes

No company should be able to game the tax system to avoid paying what it legitimately owes. And, yet, establishing shell companies in offshore havens for the purpose of tax avoidance is becoming more the rule than the exception for at least 83 of the nation's top 100 publicly traded companies.

Issue | Health Care

Making Health Care Work

Now the fight for health care reform is in Austin, and so are the health care industry’s lobbyists. At stake is how we set up a new insurance marketplace in Texas — the single biggest tool we have to clean up health care.

Issue | Consumer Protection

Protecting Consumers

TexPIRG’s consumer program works to alert the public to hidden dangers and scams and to ban anti-consumer practices and unsafe products.

Issue | Democracy

Reclaiming Our Democracy

Stanching the flow of special interest money in our elections.

Issue | Financial Reform

Reining in Wall Street

Issue | Budget, Consumer Protection, Transportation
