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 désinformation électorale 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!

Dites au Congrès : mettez un terme à la honteuse privation du droit de vote pour les crimes graves

Dites au Congrès : mettez un terme à la honteuse privation du droit de vote pour les crimes graves

Chaque citoyen américain mérite d’être entendu dans notre démocratie. Mais à l’heure actuelle, les lois de privation du droit de vote datant de l’époque de Jim Crow privent plus de 4,6 millions d’Américains de ce droit fondamental.

Le Congrès doit prendre des mesures pour résoudre ce problème en adoptant la loi sur la démocratie inclusive, qui garantirait le droit de vote à TOUS les citoyens américains.

Dites au ministère de la Justice : enquêtez sur la suppression des votes générée par l'IA dans le New Hampshire

Dites au ministère de la Justice : enquêtez sur la suppression des votes générée par l'IA dans le New Hampshire

Quelque chose d’alarmant s’est produit récemment dans le New Hampshire – et nous avons besoin de votre aide pour étouffer dans l’œuf cette nouvelle tactique dangereuse contre les électeurs.

Les électeurs du New Hampshire ont signalé des appels provenant d'une voix « deepfake » générée par l'IA qui ressemblait exactement au président Biden, les exhortant à ne pas voter lors des élections primaires de l'État.

Réparer le Collège électoral défaillant

Notre démocratie ne doit pas accorder plus de poids à la voix de certains Américains qu'à celle d'autres. Les États doivent signer le Pacte national pour le vote populaire et s'unir pour garantir que le candidat présidentiel qui recueille le plus de voix remporte toujours l'élection.

Frequently Asked Questions

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
