What We're Doing
Litigation
Common Cause v. Raffensperger
Black voters in Georgia saw their voting power diminished in the last redistricting cycle. In response, Common Cause, the League of Women Voters of Georgia, and a group of Georgia voters filed a federal lawsuit challenging Georgia’s congressional map.
Legislation
The 2019 Democracy Act
Leading up to the 2019 legislative session, Georgians urged the legislature through pledges to put democracy back in the hands of voters. This opportunity created the groundswell to mobilize masses for fairness in redistricting across our state.
Featured Issues
Stopping Voter Suppression
Some elected officials are trying to silence voters by creating needless barriers to the ballot box. Common Cause is fighting back against these anti-democracy efforts.
Election Protection
Every eligible voter deserves a say in the policies that impact their daily lives. That is why Common Cause mobilizes volunteers nationwide to help voters cast their ballot.
Fair Redistricting & Ending Gerrymandering
Politicians should not be allowed to draw voting maps that benefit themselves. We need to create a fair system so that voters choose their politicians, not the other way around.
Government Transparency
A government that is of, by, and for the people should not operate behind closed doors. We deliver meaningful transparency reforms because honesty and accountability are key to a healthy democracy.
