STAY SAFE!
A flash flood emergency has been issued for parts of Connecticut.
 All the terrible news coming out of the Supreme Court this week might have you worried about our nation’s future. The state of national politics may seem bleak, but at Common Cause, we've spent years making smart investments in state-level strategies—and this week, those investments have paid off. Because we know that with an increasingly divisive federal government, the biggest impact we can make is on the state level. That's especially true right now with election deniers and extremist politicians attempting to push anti-democracy bills in state legislatures across the country. And thanks to the support and advocacy of members like you, we've secured four major wins in just the last few weeks. In Ohio, we gathered enough signatures to put the Citizens Not Politicians Amendment on the ballot! This means voters in Ohio – notoriously one of the worst-gerrymandered states in the country – will FINALLY get to put an end to this shameful practice in November. Our volunteers tirelessly collected signatures all over Ohio—through winter, heat, Pride celebrations, and even during the solar eclipse, to make this happen. In Minnesota, we helped pass a state-level Voting Rights Act to combat racial discrimination at the ballot box. It also expands polling places on campus, making it easier for students to vote, and allows voters to describe where they live to register to vote, benefiting those on Tribal lands and the unhoused. In New Mexico, Common Cause played a crucial role in securing the veto of a dangerous resolution that could have allowed candidates to win without majority support. Thanks to our efforts and the leadership of Mayor Tim Keller, we successfully prevented this proposal from advancing. But our work isn't done yet—we're continuing to lobby the City Council to uphold the veto and prevent this damaging proposal from appearing on the ballot in November. And in Connecticut, we passed a bill that can set a national example for election security! This new law protects sensitive voter information, extends the time for verifying election results, ensures officials track where drop boxes are and how absentee ballots are collected, and so much more. Thanks to our efforts, elections in Connecticut this November will be more secure than ever. None of these victories would have been possible without the support of Common Cause members like you. Whether it was writing to lawmakers, making calls, or contributing to our cause, your dedication has made a tangible difference in the fight for democracy. But as we take a moment to celebrate these victories, we can't—and won't—let up in the fight for our democracy. One loud and clear lesson from the past few weeks is that democracy is not something we can take for granted – we need to keep striving for it every day. So as our volunteer team works to combat voter suppression and protect voters in the remaining primary – and scale up our biggest Election Protection program yet ahead of November's presidential election, I’m grateful to know we’re doing this side-by-side with you. Frank, I can’t thank you enough for everything that you do. Because of members like you, I know that the best days of our democracy still lie ahead. Heather Ferguson, Director of State Operations P.S. Your support helps ensure we have the resources we need to win big on the pro-democracy fights that matter most to you.
