Common Cause Massachusetts and our friends at @aclum.bsky.social just won big in court in our fight to protect Bay Staters' sensitive voter data! The Trump DOJ effort just got rejected and the case dismissed.

My favorite part of No Kings Boston was when "The People's Emcee" Rahsaan Hall said we need to fight for voting rights in Massachusetts by passing Same Day Voter Registration... and over 180K people cheered! #SDRinMA #NoKings #MApoli

An in-depth look by @wbur.org at dark money and how it is impacting state politics, from elected officials to our ballot questions. www.wbur.org/news/2026/03...

Great work by @Citizens for Juvenile Justice and excellent reporting by @wgbh.org. This could undo years of progress by police, sheriffs, and DAs who have worked hard to build trust in community. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

Why Trump wants Minnesota’s voter rolls — and the high stakes reason it matters to Mass.

-Bovino will leave MN and may lose his job -Noem will face a Senate hearing and possible impeachment -Senate Dems will oppose unconditional extension of DHS funding The pushback is working. We must keep standing up and speaking out against Trump's regime.

Two Americans are dead and ICE continues terrorizing our communities in Minnesota and beyond. This violence is the result of political choices—and Secretary Kristi Noem owns those choices. @commoncause.org SIGN THE PETITION to "Fire Kristi Noem">>> act.commoncause.org/petitions/fi...

BREAKING: The Massachusetts Senate just voted unanimously to pass the bipartisan Ballot Spending Transparency Act! Thanks to thousands of Common Cause Massachusetts members who have advocated for this important bill.

BREAKING: Common Cause Massachusetts, ACLU of Massachusetts, Jane Doe Inc., and a voter just filed a motion to intervene in 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘷 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘮 𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘷𝘪𝘯, the DOJ's lawsuit seeking to get their hands on sensitive Bay State voter info. Full press release HERE: www.commoncause.org/massachusett...

Spent all day in Washington DC hand-delivering petitions from thousands of @CommonCauseMa members to our Congressional delegation as a part of our People's Promise campaign. Any budget passed by Congress must put people before billionaires.

Today's @bostonglobe.com column asks an important question: if OCPF is able to fully investigate, conclude, and resolve credible allegations of campaign finance violations, should they release the findings before an election? We say voters deserve to know. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/14/o...

Thanks to MASSterList for interviewing me about the current state of Democracy and what Common Cause Massachusetts is doing about it for today's Independence Day feature. 🇺🇸 #mapoli Read my full interview here: massterlist.beehiiv.com/p/a-historic...

Most of the grievances listed in the Declaration of Indepenedence about King George III apply to our unaccountable and tyrannical president. It's shocking. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Thank you to my #Lowell people for joining me to discuss Common Cause MA campaigns. Excited to host many more "Coffee with a Cause" events across the Commonwealth. Let me know if you'd like to host us at a coffee shop in your city or town! Happy to drive anywhere.

It's finally time for Same Day Registration in Massachusetts. Read about our press conference on Wednesday from the State House News Service. www.yahoo.com/news/registr...

Today Common Cause MA and our partners launched the Voting Access Campaign at the State House! It's time for Same Day Registration in MA. Join us at www.votingrightsma.org.

Thanks to the hundreds of everyday people who came out in the rain for "Hands Off! Chelmsford Fights Back." I was proud to speak on behalf of Common Cause Massachusetts and our work to strengthen democracy at the state and local level.

On Tuesday March 25, 2025 news outlets reported on the abduction and disappearing by federal agents of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts University student. Common Cause Massachusetts is responding with the following statement:

Video footage obtained by NBC News shows the moment Rumeysa Ozturk was arrested. Oztur is a Turkish national and doctoral student at Tufts University with a valid student visa, her lawyer says.

This is terrifying and yet another sign that authoritarianism is on the rise in America. Rumeysa Ozturk is entitled to due process and should be freed immediately. apnews.com/video/turkis...

Thank you to the Boston City Council for lifting up #SunshineWeek and endorsing legislation that would require local government bodies to provide hybrid (remote and in-person) meetings! This is a top priority for Common Cause Massachusetts. #mapoli #bospoli

Join me and the Common Cause Massachusetts team next Wednesday 3/5 @ 6pm on Zoom for the Platform for People Power - Campaign Launch! Let's build a people powered movement to strengthen our democracy at the state and local level in MA. act.commoncause.org/events/2025-...

Democracy dies in darkness. And Jeff Bezos is purposely turning off the lights. www.nbcnews.com/media/jeff-b...

Remote Access is Disability Justice. That's why we're teaming up with Disability Law Center Inc., CILs, and others to advocate for a state law to require hybrid and remote meeting access for local government bodies in MA. #mapoli #AccessMA Take action today: act.commoncause.org/.../tell-you....

Remote meetings are part of our new normal, so why not guarantee that Bay Staters can use remote access to engage their City Council, Selectboard, and School Committee? I went on @nbcboston.com to discuss why remote access should be required. Full segment here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvWl...

The fact that an aspiring trillionaire can simultaneously rake in gov't contracts while claiming to cut government spending is enraging. It is obvious what is happening and that more attempts will be made by Musk to grow wealthier off the public's dime. #FireMusk time.com/7221880/stat...

BREAKING: Trump & Project 2025's effort to illegally pause federal aid has been temporarily blocked. Thanks again to @massago.bsky.social for joining this fight. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Thank you Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell for joining the fight against Trump's latest illegal power grab. This particular effort is directly out of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 (page 358). www.wbur.org/news/2025/01...

Common Cause MA is working hard to build a grassroots movement to strengthen democracy in Massachusetts. Support us today on #GivingTuesday by visiting www.commoncause.org/massachusetts/donate

Issues of pay-to-play within Trump's transition? Big money is entering a renewed gilded age in our politics. www.bostonglobe.com/2024/11/26/n...

Conflicts of interest often come from undisclosed political contributions which create undue influence over our leaders. Is 47 completely up for sale? We must demand full transparency. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/24/u...

Today I went on @wbur.org to discuss barriers to voting ID'd in our Election Protection report. As i said on the radio, "this has to be the last election in the history of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts where we are knowingly leaving so many voters behind." #mapoli www.wbur.org/news/2024/11...

Gaetz, bye. apnews.com/article/gaet...

After nearly 20 years, I broke up with Twitter. Things were getting toxic and one-sided. I needed to move on. Guess that means it's now my X... Glad to see so much enthusiasm for this new platform. I am eager to connect with folks who care about strengthening democracy!

Matt Gaetz has proven time and time again that he is not fit to carry out the DOJ’s duty to protect voting rights and civil rights for all Americans. The Senate must REJECT his nomination for Attorney General. #RejectGaetz Sign our petition here: act.commoncause.org/petitions/ur...
