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.

Fair Redistricting & Ending Gerrymandering

Fair Redistricting & Ending Gerrymandering
