Quick gut check:
Why should voting come with a privacy tradeoff?
This summer, the DOJ asked Massachusetts for its non-public voter file. Full names. Home addresses. Dates of birth. Driver’s license numbers. Partial Social Security numbers.
That’s not routine. That’s sensitive.

Last night we celebrated a true giant of the democracy movement.
After 25 years as @commoncause.org North Carolina State Director, Bob Phillips is retiring. What he built over those years is nothing short of extraordinary.

The democracy version of Wrapped: no skipped tracks, just accountability hits!
Our 2025 Wrapped is officially here!
Amid voter suppression, militarized crackdowns, and billionaire influence, Common Cause secured MAJOR victories.

SCOTUS is hearing a case that could blow open the floodgates for big money in politics.
