Federal laws and regulations affect the lives of every American. Pew’s national policy agenda has included work to improve the safety of food, drugs, and medical devices; address the challenge of antibiotic resistance; foster a robust dialogue on economic mobility; and provide consumers with better information about financial products. And by focusing on ocean conservation and wilderness protection Pew applies the best science to maintaining America’s beauty and natural resources for future generations.
