We just sued Trump

We're YOUR first line of defense to guarantee a free and fair 2026 election

Pamela, Trump wants your name in a database so he can stop you from voting. Common Cause just sued to stop him. [1] Donald Trump just signed yet another illegal order attacking your rights. This time, he's trying to create his own list of who can and can't vote, force the USPS to enforce his war on vote-by-mail, and threatening local election officials with jail time if they don't obey him. Any state that implements these extreme demands will silence thousands or even millions of eligible voters. And any state that doesn't – and chooses our rights over Trump's agenda – could lose federal funding and blow a DOGE-sized hole in their state budgets. Of course, all of this wouldn't do a single thing to secure our elections… but it would help Trump achieve his real goal – controlling the outcome of the 2026 midterms. Here's the good news – that's a power that no president has... so Common Cause is suing to make sure the courts shut him down once again. You see, our voting experts have been tracking Trump's ramblings about vote by mail ever since he came back to the White House – and we've prepared ready-to-file lawsuits for situations exactly like this one. If you follow the news, you realize the people running this country are doing everything in their power to deny you your right to vote. And I hope you also know that Common Cause is YOUR first line of defense to guarantee a free and fair 2026 election: We're leading the fight in Congress to stop Trump's voter suppression bill that would silence 69 million Americans – parts of which he's now trying to force into law with one (illegal) stroke of his pen. We're battling in court against another anti-voter data grab, taking legal action in 17 states plus D.C. to stop Trump's DOJ from seizing your voting info (and we just got a big clue why he wants it!) Plus, we're recruiting and training thousands of nonpartisan volunteer poll monitors – who can help voters cut through the confusion that Trump is deliberately stoking, know their rights, and vote securely in person or by mail. Pamela, this work is expensive – but essential. I refuse to be the last generation of Americans to live in a democracy – but that's going to take all of us working together to ensure we leave something better for the next generation.
