Internet Access For All
Internet access has become crucial for participating in our Democracy. Yet the digital divide prevents over 4 million Americans from accessing internet connection.
Periodismo local y consolidación de medios
Our democracy works best when we can access rich and varied information. That is why Common Cause is combatting efforts to shut down local news outlets and create dangerous media monopolies.
Our 21st-century democracy needs a diverse, open, and independent media—not a few mega-conglomerates controlled by the wealthy few. Not only does the media keep us informed, but it also is often responsible for framing important issues like healthcare, economic justice, immigration, and more.
That is why it is key to include a diverse array of voices in the conversation. Common Cause is committed to putting the brakes on dangerous media consolidation, as well as advocating for local journalism protections that put everyday people first.

Tell cable providers: Don’t raise our bills to fund Fox News’ lies
We cannot trust Fox News to tell the truth.
Allowing Fox News to continue profiting off disinformation and conspiracy theories – when we ALREADY know that they’ve lied to viewers about our elections – is a major mistake, and dangerous for our democracy.
We’re calling on cable providers to say no to the Fox Fee. We will not pay more in our cable bills to subsidize Fox News’ lies.

Washington Post v. McManus
In August 2018, the Washington Post, Baltimore Sun and other local newspapers sued the state of Maryland challenging the constitutionality of the state’s recently-enacted campaign finance disclosure law that requires certain "online platforms" to collect and make available to the public information about groups and individuals that pay to place political ads on such online platforms.

Forbes: FCC Votes To Restore Net Neutrality: A Win For Consumers And Democracy
Former FCC Commissioner and Common Cause Special Adviser Michael Copps shared his perspective on the importance of reinstating net neutrality: “If I weren't out of the country today, I would be personally at the FCC jumping up and down, saluting the majority for reinstituting the network neutrality rules that were so foolishly eliminated by the previous Commission.”
Copps has been a staunch advocate for an open Internet for over two decades, emphasizing that the reinstated rules are not only moderate but have previously been...

La FCC vota a favor de restablecer la neutralidad de la red
Hoy, la Comisión Federal de Comunicaciones (FCC) votó a favor de restablecer la Neutralidad de la Red. La medida restablece la autoridad de la FCC en virtud del Título II de la Ley de Comunicaciones para supervisar a los proveedores de banda ancha y hacer cumplir las protecciones de Internet abierta. La Orden de Internet Abierta fue derogada durante la Administración Trump ante la oposición pública generalizada, incluidos los comentarios presentados durante los procedimientos en contra de la controvertida revocación por parte de la agencia.
