What does Common Cause do at the grassroots?
Common Cause grassroots activists lobby lawmakers on pending legislation, write letters to the editor and op-ed pieces for their local newspapers, speak to community groups about Common Cause issues, and generally work to keep their communities well informed. We also organize events in local districts to put pressure on Members of Congress and state and local officials whose support may be wavering on key issues. These events have included town hall meetings, rallies, and issue forums, featuring speakers such as national and local legislators, coalition partners, the Common Cause President, and other key staff members.
