About OSPIRG

OSPIRG takes on powerful interests on behalf of Oregon's citizens, working to win concrete results for our health and our well-being. With an experienced network of researchers, advocates, organizers and volunteers across the state, we stand up to powerful interests on issues to make health care affordable, protect consumers from marketplace abuses, fight political corruption, and boost civic participation.

Our Top Priority Campaign

Safe Food, Healthy Kids

Our food should be safe and nutritious, especially the food that is served to children in schools.

Unfortunately, most fast food chains would reject as unsafe some of the meat that is sold to the school lunch program. We’re working to ensure Congress and the Obama administration puts children’s health above the meat industry.



Landmark New Health Care Reform

With family health care costs projected to double in the next decade, we helped craft and pass a comprehensive new law in 2009 that will cut the cost of health care. The law puts Oregon at the forefront of health care reform by cutting administrative waste, limiting excessive insurance premium hikes and prioritizing preventative care that makes us healthier. More Accomplishments.
