Common Cause Pennsylvania is the defender of citizens’ rights in the halls of power and in our communities. Standing as an independent voice for positive change, a watchdog against corruption, and protector against abuse of power, we work to hold public officials accountable and responsive to citizens. Common Cause Pennsylvania is a nonpartisan, good government organization.

Our record of success is a product of forward vision, and a powerful combination of grassroots organizing, coalition building, policy development, research, public education, lobbying and when necessary, litigation. We highlight issues which citizens can rally to build a better democracy in Pennsylvania.
