President Trump's attacks on reporters and media organizations endanger press freedom

Gumamit ng butas ang mga Senate Republican sa mga panuntunan ng Senado—ang filibuster—upang harangin ang pagdaraos ng debate sa Freedom to Vote Act. Pangatlong beses na nilang pinigilan ang kanilang mga kasamahan sa pagdedebate sa batas ng mga karapatan sa pagboto ngayong taon. Nahaharap ngayon ang mga senador sa isang pagpipilian: protektahan ang kalayaang bumoto at humanap ng paraan upang maipadala ang panukalang batas na ito sa mesa ni Pangulong Biden, o hayaan itong mamatay dahil sa pagharang ng Republika at pang-aabuso sa mga panloob na panuntunan ng Senado.

Noong 2020, ipinagdiwang ng Common Cause ang ating ika-50 anibersaryo ng pagtatrabaho para sa pampublikong interes at ang demokrasyang nararapat sa atin.

Today, Common Cause released a new report on more than two dozen ballot initiatives and state constitutional amendments to strengthen, and in some cases undercut, democracy that will be decided by voters at the state and local level in November. “Democracy on the Ballot” traces the growing momentum behind citizen-driven pro-democracy reforms in recent years and examines initiatives and amendments on ballots in the 2018 general election from Florida to California and from North Dakota to New Mexico and urges support or opposition to each.

Today, Common Cause issued a new report examining how corrections industry influence, felony disenfranchisement and prison gerrymandering fuel mass incarceration and undermine democracy. Democracy Behind Bars looks at our broken criminal justice system and how it is manipulated for the benefit and profit of the prison industry. The report goes on to examine the work going on in the states to restore voting rights to citizens who have served their time and to curb mass criminalization and incarceration.

Today, Common Cause released a new report on youth voting trends, opportunities and obstacles faced by Millennials as they seek to make their voices heard in the 2016 election. Millennials have overtaken Baby Boomers to become the largest generation of living Americans but youth voter turnout lagged far behind their older counterparts in 2012 (38% to 63.4%).
