Welcome to Consumer Reports Advocacy

An independent, nonprofit member organization that works with consumers for truth, transparency, and fairness in the marketplace.

Better Cars and Safer Streets

People should have broad access to safe, fuel-efficient, low polluting transportation that is reliable, affordable, and meets their individual needs. That’s why CR champions government protections and corporate behaviors that promote a better car market and more mobility options. And it’s why we work to empower people – so their voices and choices can help steer that market in their favor.
