PEER (Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility) is an organization that supports current and former public employees who advocate for a higher standard of environmental ethics and scientific integrity within their agencies. With a focus on defending whistleblowers and shedding light on improper or illegal government actions, PEER aims to improve laws and regulations while supporting the work of other organizations. What sets PEER apart is its provision of pro bono services, ensuring that all public servants have access to their support.

By allowing individuals to work as anonymous activists, the organization ensures that public agencies must address the message rather than the messenger. PEER collaborates with federal, state, local, and tribal employees in various roles, including environmental and public health professionals, land managers, scientists, and enforcement officers. Their mission is to protect public employees who protect our environment and to advocate for transparency, inclusion, and accountability within the government.

Through their strategic plan, PEER aims to continue their work with renewed vigor and purpose, staying true to their mission. They are also committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within their organization
