This Mother’s Day, we honor the moms who raise their voices, raise voters, and raise the next generation of changemakers. From the kitchen table to the ballot box, moms have always shaped our democracy. Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Common Cause!

This #AAPIHeritageMonth, we honor Emma Gee and Yuji Ichioka, the activists who coined the term “Asian American” in the 1960s. Their work helped build a movement rooted in solidarity, identity, and justice that continues to inspire today.

President Obama agrees: no president should financially benefit from their position while they’re in office. Period. No side hustles. No self-dealing. No cashing in on public power. That’s why we’re calling for a ban on profiteering in public office.

This #AAPIHeritageMonth, we’re celebrating the stories, cultures, and voices that continue to shape our communities and inspire generations. This weekend, kick back and watch films that spotlight Asian American & Pacific Islander experiences. 🎬

Tennessee lawmakers are pushing a mid-decade redistricting plan, but it fails to meet our fairness criteria. Why? 🚫 TN State law already bans it 🚪 New maps were drawn behind closed doors 📢 Dismantles Majority-Black district & splits Nashville across 3 districts

We oppose this bill. It pushes a government that abuses rights, harms communities, and enriches donors—while cutting healthcare, school funding, and public media. Tell Congress to protect rights and invest in communities. ✍️ here: https://bit.ly/4uuOnTm

We're challenging Florida’s new congressional maps in court. Why? Because they ❌ Violate Florida’s anti‑gerrymandering law ❌ Undermine minority representation ❌ Aren’t required by any new population data Voting rights matter. Fair maps matter. 🗳️

BREAKING: @democracydefendersfund.org w/ @splcenter.org @scsjofficial.bsky.social @lulacorg.bsky.social @commoncause.org & LWVFL are filing suit to STOP DeSantis's new Florida congressional map 60%+ of FL voters banned partisan gerrymandering in 2010 This map defies voters' will

Last week SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act – but we’re still here fighting for YOUR right to vote. Join us in that fight on May 6 at 7PM EST. Sign up here: https://www.mobilize.us/commoncause/event/948408/

SCOTUS’s Callais decision proves that we can’t rely on federal protections alone to defend our freedom to vote. That’s why Common Cause is fighting for state Voting Rights Acts nationwide — and winning. See how CA, CO, and NY are leading the way: www.commoncause.org/articles/aft...

This #AAPIHeritageMonth, we celebrate the generations of Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders who’ve fought for equity, justice, and representation. We're proud to stand with AAPI communities to build a democracy that works for everyone.

NEW: SCOTUS just made it harder to challenge racially discriminatory gerrymanders. The decision, combined with a 2019 ruling enabling partisan gerrymandering, hands politicians the power to choose their voters. But voters deserve a democracy where that choice is theirs, @commoncause.org writes.

We said “Not Another Penny for ICE” and the House listened. They agreed to fund agencies like the TSA without more ICE allocations after a 76-day shutdown. ICE still has too much funding, but not a penny from this DHS bill.

Billionaires aren’t paying their fair share. NO MORE. We are rising up to fight for freedom and fairness. Join us on May 1 Find the May Day event near you: https://www.mobilize.us/commoncause/map/?org_ids=41722&zoom=2.5

The Supreme Court just dealt another blow to the Voting Rights Act. 🧵

SCOTUS just gave the Voting Rights Act a death sentence. As Congress continues to sit on the sidelines, Common Cause will pass a state VRA in all 50 states to protect our right to fair representation. Join us: https://bit.ly/4t4FYoI

The King of England respects checks and balances more than the President of the United States.

Join us in welcoming Preston Mitchum and Maryam Jazini Dorcheh to our Common Cause team as senior directors of legislative affairs and litigation. They’ve already hit the ground running to protect our rights and hold power accountable.

Trump’s DOJ has spent a year trying to seize private voter data from 48 states—to build a national database and control who can vote. We’re suing to stop it. To protect your privacy, data and freedom to vote. https://www.commoncause.org/articles/common-cause-just-sued-the-doj-heres-why/

69 million Americans could lose their voice because of the SAVE Act—simply for not matching their birth certificate. Thanks to Senate Democrats & Sen. Murkowski for stopping it—for now. But it’s not over. Tell the Senate: Reject it again.

Common Cause stands firmly with the SPLC (@splcenter.org) in the face of yesterday’s attack by the DOJ. We are clear that this is a sham case built on illegitimate claims.

Virginia voters made it loud and clear how they feel about redistricting. Republicans are now entering the "Find Out" phase. Here's what they had to say 👉

GOP lawmakers aren't happy with President Trump after their mid-decade redistricting push backfires in VA

Did you know the federal government wants to collect YOUR sensitive voter data? The federal government wants to potentially use this to block eligible voters from casting their ballot. This is why Common Cause is suing the DOJ to protect your private voter data.

The government wants your data—and the power to watch you. We don’t have to let them. Tell Congress: NO mass surveillance. NO to FISA expansion. https://bit.ly/4sV9Cg9

Protecting USPS means protecting voting access. The Trump administration is forcing a funding problem with USPS impacting vote by mail. Another example of President Trump’s efforts to control elections. Sign our petition to tell Congress to act NOW - https://bit.ly/4erB15s

Big news: Two powerful leaders are stepping up. Congrats to Camron Hurt in Hawaii and Jenny Guzman in Arizona on their promotions to State Directors — and for continuing the fight to protect our democracy. Join us in celebrating them 👇

Today, @virginiaksolomon.bsky.social joined @morelle.house.gov to demand Congress root out corruption at every level—because no one should put profits over people or power over democracy.

Since President Trump started the mid-decade redistricting fight last summer, Floridians have been very clear – they do not want mid-decade redistricting to happen in their state. Here are 4 reasons why: https://bit.ly/4cccEYc

President Trump’s latest rant about Pope Leo XIV is just another example of unhinged behavior. He is unfit for office. VP Vance and the cabinet must act now—invoke the 25th Amendment. Add your name to our petition if you agree: https://act.commoncause.org/petitions/remove-trump-from-office-now

Across the country, voting rights are under pressure—from loud partisan attacks to quiet barriers like confusing rules and paperwork. Common Cause is fighting back. Together with @lulacorg.bsky.social @lwvsf.bsky.social and @democracydefendersaction.org we’re uniting to protect our elections.

🚨 We scored a major win for voters this week: a federal judge dismissed Trump’s attempt to access Massachusetts voters’ personal data. But this fight is far from over. Common Cause is fighting—and winning—to protect your privacy in 15+ states.

With each stroke of their pens, Supreme Court justices change the lives of ordinary Americans. We need to ensure every justice is truly impartial. We need an enforceable Supreme Court code of ethics.

President Trump has shown time and time again that he cares more about his ego than the needs of every day Americans. @virginiaksolomon.bsky.social breaks down his lack of true meaningful policy on the latest episode of Mea Culpa with @michaelcohen212.bsky.social.

Trump’s behavior is getting more dangerous by the day — and a 2 week ceasefire doesn’t fix a thing. It just gives the VP and cabinet 2 more weeks to invoke the 25th amendment. Find out more about the 25th amendment and why are we calling for it immediately👇 www.commoncause.org/articles/wha...

President Trump’s erratic behavior is putting lives at risk. We can’t wait. We can’t stay silent. It’s time for VP Vance and the cabinet to do their job and invoke the 25th Amendment NOW.

The NAACP, @commoncause.org, the @lawyerscomm.bsky.social and @blackvotersmatterfund.org filed the fifth lawsuit against Trump's executive order targeting mail voting, arguing the directive is “an illegal power grab seeking to control federal elections.”

36% approval. That’s the reality of President Trump’s leadership. We gave him a performance review—and the results speak for themselves. See how he did 👇 https://www.commoncause.org/articles/president-trumps-performance-review-failure/

Vote by mail is popular, reliable, and proven to work. It’s been used so successfully that even President Trump votes by mail.

We’re suing President Trump... again. This time it’s over an illegal order that threatens voters, election workers, and vote -by-mail. He’s trying to nationalize elections so HE can decide who’s allowed to vote and who isn’t.

🌸It’s cherry blossom season!🌸 The perfect time to pass #DCStatehood

Happy Easter to all who celebrate! Easter is a holiday of hope and new beginnings. May we always have the courage to build a more inclusive democracy where everyone can live authentically.

President Trump is quickly racking up a massive tab on golf, ballrooms, and illegal wars—and we’re paying the price. This isn’t what the people want. Tell Congress: we’re done footing the bill. No $200 billion for war in Iran.

Pam Bondi is out as Attorney General but firing one official doesn’t fix a DOJ that’s been weaponized for political gain. Bovino, Bondi, Noem, or any other firing doesn’t fix what’s broken about this administration. Common Cause won't stop fighting for every day Americans.

The promise of the 14th Amendment is simple: if you are born here, you belong here. No executive order or president can change that. It's already in the Constitution.

BREAKING: President Trump just signed an executive order taking away your right to vote. Even though HE votes by mail. If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for the voters. We won't let this go unchallenged. Stay tuned.
