What we're doing...


In America, elections are supposed to reflect the will of the people, not politicians. We all want our voices to be heard in determining the future of our families and communities. We are fighting for a census in which every person is counted and a process for drawing district boundaries that puts our communities, and not the needs of politicians, first.

Redistricting & Representation Campaigns...

No Lawless Lawmakers

Extremist lawmakers want to seize unchecked power over our government - so Common Cause argued at the Supreme Court to stop them.

Justice and Democracy

The mass criminalization and incarceration of black and brown communities disenfranchises and disempowers millions of Americans and undermines the promise of a democracy that works for everyone.

Gerrymandering / Redistricting

Politicians shouldn’t be allowed to draw voting maps that benefit themselves. We need to change the rules and create a fair system so that voters are choosing the politicians, instead of politicians choosing their voters.

Reflective Democracy

We're building a democracy that works for everyone because it reflects who we are and how we live in the 21st Century.

Take Action

Write Your Lawmakers

Write a letter to the editors of your local newspapers to encourage members of your community to learn about what happened during the January 6th insurrection.

End Gerrymandering Now

Voters should choose politicians, not the other way around! Together we can return the power to draw districts to We The People. Sign the pledge and learn how you can help.

Help Put an End to Big Money’s Stranglehold on Our Democracy

As long as wealthy special interests can back political campaigns with unrestricted sums of money, often in secret – they will drown out the voices of everyday voters.
