Susan Lerner, the executive director of Common Cause New York, a voting rights and good governance advocacy group, also criticized the new map, arguing in a statement that it “divides communities of interest and neighborhoods, particularly in New York City, and ignores the cores of the existing Congressional districts.”

Yosef Getachew, director of the media and democracy program at the advocacy group Common Cause, told me a “wrong and bad” standard applied to individuals doesn’t mean much. Jan. 6 “wasn’t one or two tweets here or there. It was a massive coordination from numerous organizations,” he said. “You have to have policies that prohibit coordinated efforts to use platforms to incite violence or spread information that leads to the loss of individuals’ right to vote.”

ALBANY — Common Cause NY and ethics-minded lawmakers remain committed to preventing former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and other misbehaving elected officials from spending the campaign war chest they amassed while in office.

"This is one instance, unfortunately among many, and it's time to deal with this gap of law," Common Cause NY Executive Director Susan Lerner said Tuesday at the Capitol.

El presidente Trump y sus aliados en el Congreso están intensificando los esfuerzos para recortar la financiación de los medios públicos, apuntando al Servicio Público de Radiodifusión (PBS) y a la Radio Pública Nacional (NPR).

Trump signed a bill cutting $1.1 billion in funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, putting local NPR and PBS stations at risk, especially in rural areas.

No writing $500,000 checks to yourselves! Repeal Senate Republicans’ self-serving cash grab now.

Investigators shouldn’t have to worry about political retaliation or costing taxpayers huge sums of money just for doing their jobs. And elected officials should NOT be profiting off the people they serve.

We demand CBS and Paramount walk back their shameful decision to cancel Stephen Colbert’s show.

Our media should be holding the powerful accountable, exposing corruption, and informing the public – NOT selling out to those in power.

No, we don’t want a dictator.

I REJECT Trump’s authoritarian crackdown and pledge to do my part for free and fair elections in 2026, 2028, and beyond.
