Government Transparency
A government that is of, by, and for the people should not operate behind closed doors. We deliver meaningful transparency reforms because honesty and accountability are key to a healthy democracy.
Common Cause ensures that our federal, state, and local governments are transparent and accessible to the public. We are dedicated to creating an open and honest democracy that is accountable to the people. That is why we champion strong government transparency, open meetings, freedom of information, and ethics laws. These important reforms create meaningful opportunities for participation in and access to government.
Your financial support helps us make an impact by holding power accountable and strengthening democracy.
