Direktang Demokrasya

Common Cause is defending the right to place the issues we care about on the ballot before the voters -- a right that is under attack across the country.

One of the most important ways that everyday people can make change in our government is through ballot initiatives. In many states, after advocates collect enough signatures, questions about key issues will be put on the ballot. Voters can then directly decide on new voting laws, housing policies, reproductive justice measures, and much more.

However, some politicians want to silence voters by restricting ballot initiatives or eliminating them all together. Common Cause is committed to defending direct democracy against these threats.

Ang Project 2025 ay isang mapanganib na playbook ng patakaran na itinutulak ng mga ekstremista. Maaari itong magbanta sa mga pangunahing kalayaan sa pamamagitan ng pag-alis ng checks and balances at pagsasama-sama ng kapangyarihan sa opisina ng pangulo, tulad ng iba pang awtoritaryan na pamahalaan.

The landscape, meanwhile, is dramatically different in Democrat-controlled states. In Maryland, advocates have experienced virtually no resistance whatsoever, and say they are aware of no organized opposition. “We’re expecting a disinformation campaign,” says Joanne Antoine, executive director of Common Cause Maryland. “But outside of that we’re not hearing anything at all.”
