Campaign
Michiganders Deserve Transparency!
Our government can only work when the public is able to stay informed and able to hold their leaders accountable.
Priorities
Common Cause works on the national, state, and local level to defend and strengthen American democracy.
What We're Doing
Legislation
Stop HJR B
HJR B is Michigan's version of the federal SAVE Act — both would gut voter registration and block voters. The proposed requirement of documentary proof of citizenship in order to vote would disenfranchise millions of Republican, Democratic, and independent voters who do not have passports, birth certificates, or other forms of identification required under the legislation.

Featured Issues
Ethics & Accountability
Public officials should act in all of our interest, not to line their own pockets. Common Cause is fighting to ensure that all of our leaders are held to high ethical standards.
Stopping Voter Suppression
Some elected officials are trying to silence voters by creating needless barriers to the ballot box. Common Cause is fighting back against these anti-democracy efforts.
Government Transparency
A government that is of, by, and for the people should not operate behind closed doors. We deliver meaningful transparency reforms because honesty and accountability are key to a healthy democracy.
Voting Rights Restoration
A democracy that is truly of, by, and for the people must extend the right to vote to all its citizens. Common Cause is pushing back against laws that disenfranchise and disempower millions of Americans every year.
