Rights Restoration

Common Cause is pushing back against laws that disenfranchise and dis-empower millions of Americans every year.

Felony disenfranchisement, or the practice of denying currently and formerly incarcerated people their right to vote, creates a class of people who are subject to the laws of this country without a say in how they are governed. These laws are Jim Crow era relics, originally created to uphold white supremacy by stripping Black Americans and other people of color of their right to be heard.

Restrictions currently vary from state to state, and Common Cause is working across the country to uproot this broken and unjust system with voting rights restoration reforms.
