Priorities
Common Cause works on the national, state, and local level to defend and strengthen American democracy.
What We're Doing
Litigation
Agee v. Benson Amicus Brief
Common Cause filed a joint amicus brief arguing that the court should scrutinize Michigan’s state Senate map further to determine whether it dilutes Black voting power, particularly in Detroit.
Featured Issues
Ethics & Accountability
Public officials should act in all of our interest, not to line their own pockets. Common Cause is fighting to ensure that all of our leaders are held to high ethical standards.
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.
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.
Voting Rights Restoration
A democracy that is truly of, by, and for the people must extend the right to vote to all its citizens. Common Cause is pushing back against laws that disenfranchise and disempower millions of Americans every year.
