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 election disinformation 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!

Sagen Sie es dem Kongress: Machen Sie Schluss mit der beschämenden Entziehung des Wahlrechts wegen schwerer Verbrechen

Petition

Sagen Sie es dem Kongress: Machen Sie Schluss mit der beschämenden Entziehung des Wahlrechts wegen schwerer Verbrechen

Jeder amerikanische Bürger hat das Recht, in unserer Demokratie gehört zu werden. Doch derzeit wird dieses Grundrecht über 4,6 Millionen Amerikanern durch Gesetze aus der Jim-Crow-Ära vorenthalten, die den Entzug des Wahlrechts für Schwerverbrecher vorsehen.

Um dieses Problem zu beheben, muss der Kongress Maßnahmen ergreifen und den Inclusive Democracy Act verabschieden, der ALLEN amerikanischen Bürgern das Wahlrecht garantiert.

Informieren Sie das Justizministerium: Untersuchen Sie die durch KI erzeugte Wählerunterdrückung in New Hampshire

Vor Kurzem ist in New Hampshire etwas Besorgniserregendes passiert – und wir brauchen Ihre Hilfe, um diese gefährliche neue Anti-Wähler-Taktik im Keim zu ersticken.

Wähler in ganz New Hampshire berichteten von Anrufen einer durch KI generierten „Deepfake“-Stimme, die genauso klang wie die von Präsident Biden, und die sie aufforderte, bei den Vorwahlen im Bundesstaat nicht ihre Stimme abzugeben.
Das kaputte Wahlkollegium reparieren

Petition

Das kaputte Wahlkollegium reparieren

Unsere Demokratie sollte den Stimmen einiger Amerikaner nicht mehr Gewicht verleihen als denen anderer. Die Bundesstaaten müssen den National Popular Vote Compact unterzeichnen und sich zusammenschließen, um sicherzustellen, dass der Präsidentschaftskandidat mit den meisten Stimmen immer die Wahl gewinnt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Common Cause?

Common Cause is a non-partisan grassroots organization that has been holding power accountable as the people’s lobby since 1970. We believe that Democracy as the people’s right to choose their government is our common cause for a better future for all.

How Old Do You Have to Be To Participate?

DDA meetings are considered to be rated PG-13. We encourage anyone over 13 to participate in DDA actions and meetings if they are  interested in using technology to get civically engaged.

However, Social Media Monitoring is restricted to those 18+ due to the subject matter being elections and disinformation, some content found on social media while monitoring may contain violent imagery/ rhetoric and mature themes.

If you are interested in hosting anti/disinformation events geared toward young/ newly eligible voters, or have any questions contact us at grassroots@commoncause.org

Can I invite my org/ group to attend these meetings?

Yes! Digital Democracy Meetings and Tools are created to be shared with anyone who would like to include elements of the fight for information in their programming. Feel free to promote our event on your organization’s mobilize page, share the sign up link on social media or with your email lists.
