Just six states away

They want to rewrite the Constitution—Common Cause is leading the fight to stop them.

Pamela, Right now, our democracy is under attack from every direction. Extremist politicians are slashing public school budgets, gutting voting rights, and targeting Medicaid and basic services. They're dismantling civil rights protections in plain sight—and they've made it clear they're not done yet. We're not guessing at their playbook—we've seen it. Project 2025 laid out their plan to consolidate power, dismantle our freedoms, and put billionaire interests above everything else. Now, imagine what happens if they get the ultimate prize: the power to rewrite our Constitution. That's exactly what an Article V Convention would allow. And we're just six states away from it becoming reality. There are no guardrails on what they could do—no limits, no oversight. The same forces already trying to attack the 14th Amendment and roll back birthright citizenship could strike it entirely from the Constitution. The state-level Voting Rights Acts we've helped pass, like in Colorado, could be wiped out—not to mention what's left of the national law. So could decades of progress on civil rights, free speech, and equal protection under the law. This isn't a hypothetical. The campaign for an Article V Convention is happening right now—and it's more dangerous than ever. Common Cause is leading the fight to stop it. We've tracked more than 100 Article V resolutions across the country just this year. Our team works year-round to expose these bills, organize rapid response campaigns, and stop them before they gain traction. We've helped rescind convention calls in 10 states—and we're not stopping. But we're up against an organized, well-funded network of extremist groups and billionaire donors who are playing the long game. They're hoping the public doesn't notice what they're doing—until it's too late. Pamela, we can't afford to fall behind in this fight.
