What We're Doing
Nonpartisan Redistricting Resolutions
Join the cause of passing resolutions in your hometown calling for independent redistricting reform in North Carolina.
Litigation
Common Cause v. Lewis
Common Cause successfully challenged North Carolina’s state legislative map. After some of the map was struck down as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander in 2017, leaders in the legislature announced they would redraw districts on partisan grounds. On September 3, 2019, a three-judge trial court struck down the districts as a violation of the North Carolina Constitution.
Judicial Public Financing
Judges shouldn't have to raise campaign money from special interests
Featured Issues
Fair Redistricting & Ending Gerrymandering
Politicians should not be allowed to draw voting maps that benefit themselves. We need to create a fair system so that voters choose their politicians, not the other way around.
Election Protection
Every eligible voter deserves a say in the policies that impact their daily lives. That is why Common Cause mobilizes volunteers nationwide to help voters cast their ballot.
Stopping An Article V Convention
Wealthy special interests are pushing for a constitutional convention that could put all of our rights up for grabs. Common Cause is fighting back.
Money in Politics
Citizens United invited huge sums of dark money into our democracy. We're demanding reforms that put ordinary people ahead of billionaire campaign donors.
