Fighting Back Against Anti-Voter Bills
In the wake of Donald Trump’s Big Lie about the 2020 election, some elected officials in Texas pushed for new laws to silence voters. Common Cause Texas fought tirelessly against these bills, which sought to build obstacles to the ballot box for eligible Texas voters, especially voters of color, and strip local election authorities of the tools they need to effectively do their jobs.

Mobilizing Election Protection Volunteers
Each election year, Common Cause Texas mobilizes nonpartisan volunteers across the state to serve as a first line of defense for voters. These volunteers answer voters’ questions at their polling places, make sure that voters know their rights, and report any attempts to intimidate or obstruct voters. This program has helped countless Texans make themselves heard at the ballot box.
