For 15 years, In the Public Interest has produced reports, briefs, toolkits, and other research to help people understand what happens when public things are privatized. From public schools to public pools, public parks to public parking meters, we’ve documented what is lost under privatization schemes: public control over public assets.
In the current moment, when a wide range of public goods and services are being defunded, shut down, or spun out to private interests at breakneck speed, the background and context we provide is particularly vital to individuals, academics, activists, labor union members, elected officials, public servants, reporters, editors, podcasters, and others.
In a new publication, In the Public Interest’s Resource Guide, we’ve collected some of the most relevant and important documents of our work in one place for the easiest access. The Resource Guide contains direct links to the research and materials that might be useful in your organizations or communities.
Take a look. If you think there’s something we should be looking into, or collaborating with you on, let us know. It’s why we’re here.
