Legislation
Fair Representation for D.C.
It's time to give D.C. residents the voting representation in Congress they deserve.
Priorities
Common Cause works on the national, state, and local level to defend and strengthen American democracy.
What We're Doing
Legislation
The CLEAN Act
The CLEAN Act will hold members of Congress to the highest ethical standards.
Campaign
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.
Legislation
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
Government agencies abuse Section 702 by conducting hundreds of thousands of“backdoor” searches for Americans’ private communications every year. Congress must pass real reform with protections for Americans against government abuse.
Indiana Campaign
Ending Gerrymandering in Indiana
Common Cause Indiana is leading the fight for fair redistricting in Indiana. We support legislation to create a people's redistricting commission in Indiana and establish nonpartisan redistricting standards.
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.
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.
Money in Politics
Citizens United invited huge sums of dark money into our democracy. We're demanding reforms that put ordinary people ahead of billionaire campaign donors.
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.
