Leadership & Members

Founded in 2010, the Coalition for Sensible Safeguards is a national alliance of more than 180 consumer, labor, scientific, research, good government, faith, community, health, environmental, and public interest groups — representing millions of Americans.

The committee also includes the AFL-CIO, the Center for Progressive Reform, the Economic Policy Institute, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Union of Concerned Scientists.
