Common Cause
Company Overview
Common Cause is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization dedicated to upholding the core values of American democracy. We work to create open, honest, and accountable government that serves the public interest; promote equal rights, opportunity, and representation for all; and empower all people to make their voices heard in the political process.
We work at every level of government on priorities that impact each of our lives—like defending the right to vote, limiting big money’s influence on our elections, and more. Our efforts are driven by our national headquarters in D.C. and our more than 25 state offices, led by teams of on-the-ground specialists who know how to win impactful reforms that fortify our democracy.
Company History
John Gardner, who served in President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Cabinet, founded Common Cause as “a people’s lobby” in 1970. Today, we are 1.5 million members and supporters strong and have active offices in over 25 states. Our long and rich history includes milestones like lowering the national voting age to 18, enacting a ban on “soft money” in political campaigns, and helping to create the Office of Congressional Ethics.
At the national, state, and local level, Common Cause works with officials from across the political spectrum to pass proven, common-sense solutions and stop attacks on our rights. Our team members and supporters are frequent visitors to the U.S. Capitol and statehouses across the country, meeting with decision-makers to discuss target legislation.
