Citizen Power is a nonprofit public policy, research, education and advocacy organization based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania working on behalf of those less advantaged and those without a voice, to provide and further improve vital human services.
Citizen Power focuses primarily on two areas of societal needs – energy and health care. On the energy side, Citizen Power works to promote the increased use of renewable energy and energy-efficiency technologies. On the healthcare side, Citizen Power advocates for the establishment of a single-payer, universal service healthcare system.
Advocacy work is conducted on three tracks: (1) direct involvement in regulatory proceedings, (2) public education, and (3) direct consumer services. At this time, we have four main projects to carry out our mission:
– The Energy Advocacy Legal Project
– The Energy Education Project / Sustainable Energy Workshops
– Green Energy Collaborative
– The Healthcare Advocacy Project
Please read about our projects and let us know if you would like to help further these causes. Our hope is to achieve a healthier, safer, more equitable world for all!
