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. If you are directing folks to a DDA meeting consider signing up to speak or support at a meeting, we would love to hear from your group why this work impacts your effort.
