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.

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: ccnc.me/GoodTrouble

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. theguardian.com/us-news/2025…

It’s June — that means hurricane season.

We also talk Florida’s latest attack on citizen-led amendments!

A sitting US Senator was forcibly removed from a DHS press conference and detained in his home state.
This is unprecedented. This is not law and order — this is a hostile takeover and an aggressive overextension of power.

Congratulations to @CommonCause, @CommonCauseCO, and so many other democracy advocates for their work to get the Colorado Voting Rights Act passed and signed into law.

On this day in 1960, President Eisenhower signed the Civil Rights Act of 1960 into law—aimed at strengthening protections for Black voters.
It was a small step forward in the long fight for civil rights and voting access—one we’re still fighting to protect and expand today.

🚫 Gerrymandering is rigging the system—plain and simple.
When politicians choose their voters, we lose our voice.
It’s time to end this scam and demand fair maps where every vote counts.

Trump’s first 100 days are already an all-out assault on our rights, our wallets, and our democracy. We won’t sit back.
The People’s Promise is our commitment to fight back — together.

URGENT: Tell your Florida state senator and representative to VOTE NO on SB 7016 and HB 1205 and keep the citizen-led amendment process in the hands of the people! These bills will face their final votes before Friday!

Under the SAVE Act, no American would be able to register to vote online or by mail. This disproportionately affects rural communities, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
Stand against this voter suppression! #StopSAVEAct
