The Arizona Voting Rights Coalition denounces bills that would block Arizonans from fully participating in our democracy

The U.S. Supreme Court should reject the dangerous and fringe independent state legislature theory (ISLT) presented in Moore v. Harper regardless of the highly unusual decision by the North Carolina Supreme Court to rehear the remedial decision in Harper v. Hall, according to a new plaintiff’s letter responding to the high court.

The National Governing Board of Common Cause announced today the appointment of Vice President of Programs and Strategy Marilyn Carpinteyro and Vice President of People, Equity, and Inclusion Jordan Davis as interim co-presidents, effective immediately.

"She is part of the generations of women shaping Common Cause, demonstrating our democracy reform agenda requires a relentless commitment to doing hard work and having the courage to get involved."

“Senate treatment of this nomination has been, from beginning to end, sad, shoddy, and shameful.  And its treatment of Ms. Sohn a despicable dereliction of duty and honor.  A win for big-spending special interests, to be sure, but a tragic loss for the common good. We are disappointed that Ms. Sohn will be unable to serve as FCC Commissioner. She is a public interest champion who has spent her entire career advocating for policies that make broadband more affordable and accessible, defending an open internet, and promoting independent and diverse voices in our media ecosystem. Ms. Sohn would have served as a critical voice on several initiatives before the FCC including restoring net neutrality, prohibiting digital discrimination, and combating media consolidation." - former FCC chair Michael Copps

A trailblazer and powerful advocate, Karen dedicated her career to reforming our government so it served everyone. May her memory give us strength as together we carry forward her legacy of fighting for a government that lives up to the ideals of its people.
