HearUsNow.org is a campaign of Consumers Union, the non-profit publisher of Consumer Reports Magazine and Consumer Reports Online. HearUsNow.org follows its parent organization’s long tradition of promoting a fair and just marketplace by empowering consumers through education about communication and media issues involving telephone, cable, Internet and wireless services and equipment. HearUsNow.org was started in 1996 and since then has helped explain increasingly complex communications issues and exactly what they mean for consumers, with a special emphasis on local stories.

Consumers Union provides unbiased information and advice about products and services, personal finance, health, nutrition, food and product safety, sustainable purchasing, and other consumer concerns.

Our Public Policy and Advocacy Division, with offices in Yonkers, NY; Washington D.C.; Austin, Texas; and San Francisco, addresses consumer issues that are regional, national, and international in scope.

Consumer Reports magazine has over 3.6 million subscribers. ConsumerReports.org, with 3.3 million paid subscribers, is the largest paid information-based website in the world. CU also reaches millions of consumers through Consumer Reports Television, CR radio, Consumer Reports Books, and through extensive media coverage.
