The Fund for the Public Interest is a national nonprofit organization working to increase the visibility, membership and political power of the nation’s leading environmental and progressive groups. We work alongside groups such as U.S. PIRG, Environment America, Environmental Action and Fair Share on a wide range of campaigns, including protecting our environment, getting big money out of politics, stopping the overuse of antibiotics and investing in early childhood education. Right now we are working on a campaign with Environment Minnesota to hold polluters accountable when the break the law.
Many companies have been getting away with violating the clean air and clean water acts, and the federal government is doing to little to enforce these laws. So, Environment Minnesota and some of our partner groups are working on civilian lawsuits against big polluters across the country, in order to get them to stop dumping harmful pollution. We are hiring campaign staff to build the resources, visibility, and public support it takes to win. Work to make a difference, build your resume and make money along the way.
