1 in 4 American adults lives with a disability, yet many face barriers at the ballot box due to restrictive laws and inaccessible voting systems.

We need to ensure that voters with disabilities can fully participate in our democracy.

What is Alligator Alcatraz?

$450M of YOUR tax dollars fund a cruel Everglades detention camp—leaking tents, clogged toilets, mosquitos, & inhumane conditions.

Corporate elites profit. People suffer. You pay.

Recovery isn’t just about rebuilding, it’s about who’s making the decisions.

It's critical that Floridians impacted by disasters can vote safely and accessibly. They’re choosing the leaders who will decide how their communities recover and where resources go.

When disaster strikes, your right to vote shouldn’t be another uncertainty.

Florida lawmakers must pass measures to ensure fair access for disaster-affected voters. No one should lose their voice in an election just because their community is recovering from a hurricane.

On Wed August 6 at 6:30pm, join voting rights organizations as we celebrate the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, a landmark law that eliminated discriminatory practices preventing Black and Brown people from voting.

In 2017, our @CommonCause Democracy Fellows met a hero of democracy: Rep. John Lewis. The powerful legacy of John Lewis continues to inspire us as we build a democracy for all. On July 17, join a “Good Trouble Lives On” event near you: https://t.co/GFyDQo3d0G

Florida’s new citizen-led amendment rules send a clear message, if you don’t have deep pockets, your voice doesn’t matter.

Grassroots organizations, especially those led by everyday Floridians now face huge barriers getting citizen-led initiatives on the ballot.

#CommonCauseFL

[Common Cause Florida @commoncausefl]

As of July 1st, Florida made harder to collect petitions for citizen-led amendments. New laws now force anyone collecting 25+ petitions to register with the state.

Clearly, Trump and DeSantis are afraid of what the American people will see. But taxpayer funded facilities mean we deserve transparency.

Cut the cruel fundraising tactics, and let our elected officials tell us what you're doing with our money. https://t.co/OBHJ7wkdTQ

On June 14th, the Common Cause team joined thousands of Floridians from every corner of the state to say: in America, power belongs to the people, not any one person.

TAKE ACTION: The Senate is pushing a disastrous budget bill packed with billionaire tax breaks and cuts to crucial lifelines like Medicaid and food stamps. But it can still be stopped. Call your Senators NOW. And then tell your friends to call.

We honor that legacy by fighting for freedom and equality in our elections, our institutions, and across democracy.
