What we're doing...


There’s nothing more important to a functioning democracy than an informed, engaged, public. That’s why we work to protect a free and open internet and an independent and constitutionally-protected free press that reports the facts so voters have the information they need.

Media & Democracy Campaigns...

Internet Access

Internet access is crucial for participating in modern society and our Democracy, yet 4 million Americans cannot afford internet connection. Learn how Common Cause is fighting to expand internet access for all!

Freedom of the Press

A free press is a vital component of our democracy and holds our government accountable to the people. Now more than ever, we're fighting to protect media independence and the integrity of both professional and citizen journalism in the United States.

Media Consolidation

We must put the brakes on media monopolization and work towards innovative reforms that put consumers and everyday people first.

Net Neutrality

The open internet, or net neutrality, is the principle of online fairness. It enables everyone to share ideas, information and other content on the internet without throttling, censorship, or extra fees from big internet service providers.
