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.

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.
