About Common Cause Pennsylvania
Common Cause Pennsylvania is a nonpartisan good government organization that stands as an independent voice for positive change, a watchdog against corruption, and a protector against abuse of power.
We work in the halls of power and in our communities to defend peoples’ rights and hold public officials accountable to the people.
Our record of success is a product of forward vision, and a powerful combination of grassroots organizing, coalition building, policy development, research, public education, lobbying and when necessary, litigation.

We put our proven policy expertise, our network of grassroots supporters, and our nonpartisan approach into action to strengthen our democracy to meet the challenges it faces today.

When We the People come together, we can make a real and lasting difference. Taking action with Common Cause Pennsylvania means joining a powerful movement in pursuit of a democracy that gives all Pennsylvanians a voice in the decisions that shape our future.

In the Courts
