Legislation
The Voting Rights Advancement Act (VRAA)
We must restore the protections of the Voting Rights Act and eliminate barriers to the ballot box.
Priorities
Common Cause works on the national, state, and local level to defend and strengthen American democracy.
What We're Doing
Litigation
Common Cause v. Rucho
In the landmark redistricting case, the Supreme Court declined to halt gerrymandering. In response, we are ramping up our state-level efforts.
Campaign
Article V Campaign
Wealthy donors, corporations, and radical far-right actors are pushing calls for an Article V Convention in states across the country to reshape our Constitution for their own benefit.
Frighteningly, they are just a few states away from succeeding.

Litigation
Moore v. Harper
Common Cause took the fight for free and fair elections all the way to the Supreme Court and won.
Campaign
People Funded Elections
People funded elections help break down barriers to participating in our democracy, creating a government that looks like us and works for us.
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.
