Just 11 years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples by the 14th Amendment. We cannot rest until all LGBTQ+ people, including trans and nonbinary folks, have equal rights. #PrideMonth

Celebrate the final days of #PrideMonth by streaming stories that uplift LGBTQ+ voices, experiences, and joy. 🌈 Here's what's on our watchlist! 🎬

Politico: Todd Blanche just admitted he botched the release of the Epstein files. Instead of protecting the public—or survivors—he protected President Trump. Todd Blanche is not fit to be our Attorney General. Block Blanche.

The Supreme Court’s disastrous 2013 Shelby County v. Holder decision left voting rights, especially for people of color, exposed to unchecked attacks by extremist state lawmakers. It is up to Congress to restore the VRA and protect our freedom to vote.

Access to more footage is great when it comes to your favorite reality TV show, but is more concerning when it comes to real life. Read Preston Mitchum's latest Substack on why we need strict rules about who the government can track, when, and how. bit.ly/4eO30en

In today's Substack article, we address the conspiracy theories and baseless paranoia surrounding Mail-in Ballots. Read it here: https://ourcommoncause.substack.com/publish/post/203283921?r=5n6vsf&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Was it something we said?

President Trump is on Capitol Hill today trying to force the Todd Blanche AG nomination through. Our 1 million members are standing in the way. Tell your Senator right now: #BlockBlanche

Today the Senate finally said "enough" by rebuking President Trump's Iran war. The 50-48 vote expresses that both parties know the American people are not in favor of this illegal war and its massive economic toll.

Title IX was passed 53 years ago. It has since drastically increased gender equality in athletics and helped to prevent sexual harassment on campuses. 5 years ago, in 2021, the Department of Education expanded Title IX to protect LGBTQ+ students.

We did it! We STOPPED Georgia lawmakers from drawing rigged maps and destroying Black voting power. From day one, Common Cause’s 1 million members pushed back, first in Indiana and now in Georgia. These victories are possible when we all unite for a multi-racial democracy.

Happy Birthday, Justice Clarence Thomas! 🎈

🚨BREAKING🚨 Voters are 9-0 against the DOJ in voter data protection cases. Today, Maryland federal court dismissed the DOJ's demand for access to state voter data. We will continue to fight to protect the rights of everyone's voter data.

☀️ Good morning to everyone except Todd Blanche, President Trump's Epstein protector.

Today, we honor all the dads, father figures, and caregivers who lead with love, courage, and integrity. At Common Cause, we’re fighting for a democracy where every child — and every family — can thrive. Happy Father’s Day!

James Baldwin showed us that living truthfully is revolutionary. This Pride, we celebrate his legacy and the power of being unapologetically yourself.

Todd Blanche assured senators that the $1.8 billion slush fund he created was dead. However, he never pledged to end the other part of the deal: the Trump family’s immunity from IRS audits. #blockblanche

Todd Blanche has helped Trump’s DOJ Investigate: E. Jean Carroll, James Comey, Letitia James, Sen. Kelly, Sen. Slotkin, Rep. Goodlander, Rep. Crow, Rep. Houlahan, Rep. Deluzio, and Gov. Newsom What do they have in common? They all oppose Trump. #blockblanche

Juneteenth (June 19, 1865) marks the day freedom finally reached enslaved people in Texas. What began as local “Jubilee Day” celebrations in 1866 grew into a lasting tradition. Texas made it official in 1980, and in 2021 it became a U.S. federal holiday.

🚨 Victory in Georgia! 🚨 Yesterday, we took our message straight to the Capitol: No gerrymandering. Lawmakers heard us. A big win for fair maps and fair representation but we’re not done yet. We’ll keep fighting until every voter gets the representation they deserve.

Georgia Republicans just announced they won't redraw voting maps after all. We'll believe it when we see it. Common Cause and 40,000 members who demanded no rigged maps won't stop until the maps are officially dead.

54 years ago, Watergate showed us how power can be abused behind closed doors. That’s why Common Cause was founded — to fight for transparency and accountability. Decades later, we’re still holding the powerful accountable.

Todd Blanche protected President Trump on the Epstein files and said "it isn't a crime to party with Mr. [Jeffrey] Epstein." The next Attorney General must release all of the files—unredacted. #BlockBlanche

Blanche is on The Hill today after it became public the DOJ is investigating one of Trump's biggest critics: Newsom. The AG candidate should be working for the people, not targeting those who disagree with the president.

President Trump and his administration will stop at no end to pressure states into handing over sensitive voter data. And we’ll stop at no end to protect voter privacy because your private information belongs to you — not unelected D.C. bureaucrats and not the President.

Your personal voter data belongs to you and you alone, not President Trump.

We honor Harvey Milk this #PrideMonth for his groundbreaking leadership as one of the first openly gay elected officials in the U.S. His courage and hope continue to inspire the fight for equality.

If you have to silence voters to save your politics, maybe your politics aren't worth saving.

This #PrideMonth, we honor Cecilia Chung — a trans activist, HIV advocate, and health equity champion. Her leadership has reshaped public health and human rights policy from San Francisco to the global stage.

Ten years ago today, a man walked into a gay nightclub and killed 49 people. It was the deadliest incident in the history of violence against LGBTQ+ people in the United States. Gun violence is a policy choice. We need leaders who stand up for people, not special interests.

🚨 BREAKING: We’ve successfully blocked the President’s personal slush fund, for now. We will keep the pressure on until it's shut down for good. The Trump administration cannot be trusted with the public's money and today's ruling is a massive win to protect taxpayer dollars.

#PrideMonth is a time to celebrate the voices, stories, and contributions of LGBTQ+ people who continue to strengthen our communities and our democracy. Take a look at what’s on our reading list this month. 📚

"The danger, both television and in politics, is that once a villain has been chosen, attention shifts away from more difficult questions." Read more in today's Pop Congress Substack from Prston Mitchum - https://bit.ly/4oop1ou

BREAKING: The Florida Supreme Court just greenlit Gov. DeSantis' & the GOP's partisan voting map for the 2026 election. Common Cause's original lawsuit will continue. And we won't stop our fight until Florida’s constitutional ban on partisan gerrymandering is upheld.

Trump when the GOP wins: It was a great election Trump when the GOP loses: It was a stolen election The truth: Sometimes, Republicans win elections, and sometimes they lose. That's how democracy works. It's not rocket science.

Trump wants control of a $1.8 billion fund after settling his sham IRS lawsuit. Sound corrupt? That's because it is. Join @raskin.house.gov live to discuss what's next and how we stop this blatant abuse of power. 📺 Tune in TONIGHT at 8pm ET https://www.mobilize.us/commoncause/event/957458/

"It is not a crime to party with Mr. Epstein." - Todd Blanche, Feb 2026

As our moving billboard said on Friday, Todd Blanche protected Trump on the Epstein files. Common Cause and our 1 million members will block Blanche from becoming the next Attorney General. Our country deserves better.

Before the world heard Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech, Bayard Rustin helped make that moment possible. As an openly gay civil rights strategist and organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, his leadership helped change America. This #PrideMonth, we honor his legacy. 🏳️‍🌈

👇 See that billboard? Yeah, that was us. We're making sure everyone knows the truth: Todd Blanche is the wrong choice for Attorney General. Tell the Senate: Reject Todd Blanche.

The Attorney General's job is to defend the law — not defend the President. Todd Blanche has spent his career proving his loyalty to one man, not the American people. That's exactly why he should NOT be the next Attorney General. 5 reasons to reject Todd Blanche: https://bit.ly/4vonOzG

🏳️‍🌈 This Pride Month, we honor the LGBTQ+ leaders, advocates & everyday voters who power our democracy. Attacks on equality are attacks on democracy—and we won’t stand for them. We’re fighting for a system where EVERY voice counts.

Words aren't enough. Congress needs to step up and finish the job. Pass a law to permanently block President Trump's secret slush fund and stop this massive tax fraud from ever being considered again.

A $1.8 BILLION slush fund is a slap in the face to hardworking Americans who expect accountability from politicians, not using public office to cash in. Congress must act NOW to protect taxpayer dollars and ensure no future administration can exploit executive power for personal gain.

From cities to small towns, our future is shaped by the people who show up. 🗳️ 📢 Calling all California, New Mexico, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey and South Dakota voters: check your voting plan and cast your ballot today. https://www.commoncause.org/research-and-resources/voting-tools/

The Trump Administration is backing down from its corrupt $1.8 Billion slush fund. Public pressure works. We’re still calling on Congress to put an end to this corrupt deal once and for all. Read more our statement here: https://bit.ly/4flnop1

Who could have predicted this? Everyone except @colorado.gov Jared Polis apparently
