Pamela Gilbert: The Attorney Fighting for Consumer Safety
-
Narrated by:

By:
Pamela Gilbert spent years pressuring federal agencies from the outside, at U.S. Public Interest Research Group and Public Citizen's Congress Watch. Then she ran one. As Executive Director of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, she answered to Congress, industry, and a career staff, and learned what changes when the outside advocate becomes the implementer.
In this episode: the path from Tufts activism to Ralph Nader's network, how a small, underfunded agency drives outsized impact through recalls and the bully pulpit, what agency independence really protects, the Raechel and Jacqueline Houck Safe Rental Car Act, the anti-monopoly movement, and the decades-long corporate effort to shut the courthouse doors to regular people.
Pamela Gilbert is a Partner at Cuneo Gilbert Flannery and LaDuca in Washington, DC. She chairs the board of the American Antitrust Institute and serves on the board of the National Consumers League.
