Digital Democracy Activists
The Movement that has proved that the People can Fight for Information Access and win!
The Digital Democracy Activist Program
The Common Cause Media and Democracy team hosts virtual Digital Democracy Activist (DDA) meetings Thursday Evenings at 8pm ET/ 7CT/ 5PT. DDA meetings are:
- non-partisan
- recorded
- and open to the public
Many of us point to the 2016 election as the beginning of a culture of constant anxiety and distrust in both elections and our fellow Americans. Volunteer Monitor Kathy shared that election denial “has created a wedge in our family that makes it very difficult to talk about what really matters to the family and the country” Instead of hopelessly watching as election lies spread to their community members, activists can make a real difference.
We are all connected by a deep concern for the current state of our democracy and information ecosystems.
Meetings feature digital literacy education and actions to take alongside our community of civic minded activists. Tech support is available at every meeting for those who need support navigating our activist tools. We encourage anyone interested in taking an active role in improving access to election information to join and learn along with us!
Every election since 2016, Common Cause volunteer activists have been leading the grassroots fight against cyber suppression funded by Dark Money. Our non-partisan grassroots approach has proven to be effective in building widespread community resilience to anti-voter narratives. The DDA program has a lasting impact on the volunteers ability to recognize and confidently push back against cyber suppression.
Information access is a democracy issue. 1 in 5 Americans live in information gaps, where they are vulnerable to lies about our democratic process. Tech advancements alongside a widespread lack of platform willingness to address election lies pose a serious threat to voters in 2024. Instead of solely tackling التضليل الانتخابي after it spreads to and harms our communities, we act to proactively defend our information ecosystems from election lies before they suppress voter confidence.
2024 is set to be the biggest election year in human history and social media platforms have abandoned their duty to moderate inaccurate content about our elections. To meet this moment, we need regular democracy-minded people to take action to defend their communities from election disinformation.
From sharing election information to investigating bad actors- there are actions we can all take to keep voters informed!

جورجيا التقاضي

لقد شهد الناخبون السود في جورجيا انخفاضًا في قوتهم التصويتية في دورة إعادة تقسيم الدوائر الانتخابية الأخيرة. وردًا على ذلك، رفعت منظمة Common Cause، ورابطة الناخبات في جورجيا، ومجموعة من الناخبين في جورجيا دعوى قضائية فيدرالية تطعن في الخريطة الكونجرسية لجورجيا.

رفعت منظمة Common Cause Indiana، ومنظمة NAACP في مقاطعة أندرسون ماديسون، ورابطة الناخبات في إنديانا، والناخبين الأفراد دعوى قضائية في المحكمة الفيدرالية، مؤكدين أن مناطق مجلس مدينة أندرسون تم توزيعها بشكل غير عادل في انتهاك للقانون الفيدرالي وقانون الولاية.
التقاضي
رابطة النساء في يوتا ضد الهيئة التشريعية لولاية يوتا
قدمت منظمة Common Cause مذكرة صديقة للمحكمة العليا لولاية يوتا لحماية لجنة إعادة تقسيم الدوائر الانتخابية للمواطنين التي وافق عليها الناخبون في عام 2018 في قضية رابطة الناخبات في يوتا ضد الهيئة التشريعية لولاية يوتا. في المذكرة، نؤكد كيف تجاهلت الولاية إرادة الشعب من خلال تمرير تشريع يفرض خرائط تصويت محايدة ويتخلى عن المبادئ الأساسية لإعادة تقسيم الدوائر الانتخابية بشكل عادل.
