Tell Congress: Don’t let Trump punish voters

Trump has threatened to slash federal dollars that fund hospitals, housing, and schools for New Yorkers because they dared to vote for mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

And we have every reason to believe he’ll follow through. In recent months, he has specifically targeted places that didn’t vote for him last year – canceling billions of dollars for trains, tunnels, and clean energy in blue states, and rejecting disaster aid for blue states.

Our lawmakers must make it clear: no president can cut off funding just because he...

Write Your Representative: Pass The Youth Voting Rights Act!

Voting is a fundamental right in any democracy. It’s time to secure that right for all Americans by passing the Youth Voting Rights Act.

Tell Congress: Pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act

Right now, we’re facing a renewed wave of anti-voter efforts from President Trump, his friends in Congress, and states lawmakers across the country. But let’s not dwell on these attacks – let’s fight for the solution: the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. This recently reintroduced legislation would help protect voters nationwide from discrimination and voting restrictions by restoring and strengthening protections from the Voting Rights Act, which the Supreme Court gutted in 2013....

Our elections rank near the bottom in public spending, starving our democracy at the expense of voters like us. Right now, Congress can fix this and provide the funds that state and local officials – Democrats and Republicans alike – agree are urgently needed. They just need to act. Election funding has long enjoyed bipartisan – but...

Tell Congress: Hold The Line Against Trump’s Budget

Trump thought Democrats would cave if he shut down the government. But with your help, we’re proving him wrong. Common Cause members have made thousands of calls urging Democrats to refuse to write Trump the blank check he’s demanding. And it’s working, with seven Senate Democrats voting differently than they did in March – and nearly every Senate Democrat rejecting Trump’s budget. That’s no small thing. But Trump is betting the longer this drags on,...

Tell Congress: REJECT Trump’s Big Tech Giveaway

Trump’s budget bill isn’t just an attack on our healthcare, housing, and education – it’s also a blank check for Big Tech to harm millions of people with zero accountability. That’s because buried in the bill the House passed is a 10-year BAN on states protecting us from artificial intelligence (AI) [1] – wiping out the power for states and localities to pass commonsense protections against the many threats AI poses to consumers and our...

Tell Your State Representative and Senator to Reject Article V Constitutional Convention Legislation

Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation to advance extremist agendas by calling for an Article V Constitutional Convention of States and setting procedures for appointments. Senate Joint Resolution 3 received its first hearing in late February and the companion, House Joint Resolution 2, received proponent testimony in May. Similar bills were introduced last summer in the 135th General Assembly and, if advanced, would signify a dangerous and unnecessary direction for Ohio and the country. A convention...
