Gov.Newsom has signed the CA Fair Elections Act🎉! This historic win moves us closer to stopping big money in politics & building a fairer, more transparent democracy for Californians. Huge thanks to @lwvc.bsky.social, @caclean.org, @senatorumberg.bsky.social, and our members for making this happen!

Today we remember former President Jimmy Carter, who was a light of peace, democracy, and fighter for human rights. His legacy reminds us: leadership grounded in integrity is vital for the success of our democracy.

🚨We joined @campaignlegal.org + @lwvus.bsky.social in filing an amicus brief in a SCOTUS case that could unleash even more money into our elections. Voters deserve power — not party bosses and mega-donors. Learn more here: www.commoncause.org/press/campai...

The closure of KION & Telemundo 23 is a devastating blow to democracy on the Central Coast. Spanish-speaking residents—60% of Monterey County—are losing a trusted source for news, elections & accountability. CA must act now to protect and strengthen local journalism. www.ksbw.com/article/kion...

After Donald Trump started a mid-decade redistricting war, we created 6 fairness criteria to protect the voice of the people. That's why we are the nation's top redistricting organization, and why people like former President Barack Obama are following our lead.

Today is International Women’s Equal Pay Day — a reminder that women, especially women of color, are still paid less for the same work. Equal pay is about fairness, justice, and democracy. It’s past time to close the gap.

Politicians should not be able to manipulate district lines for their own gain. That’s why we support Senator Alex Padilla and Representative Zoe Lofgren’s re-introduction of the Redistricting Reform Act. It’s time to put power back where it belongs — with the people. #FairMaps.

Happy National Hispanic Heritage Month! This month and every month, we honor the voices, leadership, and contributions of Hispanic Americans who continue to strengthen our democracy.

Today we honor the lives of those killed 24 years ago in the September 11 attacks, their loved ones, and the heroic first responders. We will never forget.

In 1957, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act — a landmark step for voting rights. Decades later, we must honor its legacy by ensuring every voice and every vote counts.

SB 42 the Fair Elections Act puts the power back where it belongs—with the people. It will remove California’s ban on public campaign financing and ensure our elections are about supporting the people, not big money. Tell Governor Newsom to sign the California Fair Elections Act!

Today’s ruling affirms what we already knew: the Trump administration's move to deploy U.S. military forces to LA was an unlawful act of authoritarianism. We will continue to show up and defend our cities, and our state, from these antidemocratic actions. www.cnn.com/2025/09/02/p...

Weekends. Sick leave. Safer workplaces. Unions won these rights—and so many more. This Labor Day, we celebrate workers organizing for a just & democratic future.

SB 42, the CA Fair Elections Act, just passed Appropriations! 🎉 Thanks to your support, we’re one step closer to giving local governments the power to implement public campaign funding. Onward to the governor!

Welcome to the California Common Cause Team, Brittany 🥳!

Keeping the government open and accountable, means ensuring that we can see our government at work. SB 707 does the opposite and keeps the people out of the process. Help us stop SB707 to make sure you have a seat at the table!

60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act became law—protecting the right to vote for millions. That legacy is under attack, but our fight isn’t over. Every voice matters. Every vote counts. We must keep pushing for a democracy that works for everyone. #VotingRights #VRA60

Fair maps = fair representation. 🗺️ When politicians draw the lines, they protect their power, not our communities. Independent redistricting puts that power back where it belongs: with the people. 👉 Swipe to learn how it works and why it matters for California’s democracy.

Cutting $1.1 billion from public media funding isn’t just about budgets; it’s about impacting the heart of American democracy and the lives of Californians. That’s why we’re committed to standing up and fighting for it.
