We’re living in a time where anti-voter actors can make fiction appear real with artificial intelligence (AI). From hyper-realistic but entirely fake “deepfake” videos spreading disinformation about candidates  to AI-generated robocalls sowing confusion among voters, the abuse of this new technology could be disastrous for our democracy. But here’s the good news: Just this year, Common Cause members like you helped pass legislation protecting voters from deceptive AI advertising in states like New York and Oregon – and with the bipartisan Protect Elections From Deceptive AI Act, we can take these wins nationwide. The Protect Elections From Deceptive AI Act will make all the difference for voters – banning misleading AI-generated audio, image, or video advertisements that aim to influence our elections, and empowering candidates to take swift action against deceptive content.  Add your name to tell Congress: We must push back against deceptive AI in our elections. Pass the Protect Elections From Deceptive AI Act NOW.

Supreme Court justices just got the green light to continue being wined and dined by billionaires, special interests, and big corporations – and now they don’t even have to disclose most of it to the public!  That’s right: despite public outcry over Justice Clarence Thomas accepting luxury trips from conservative billionaire Harlan Crow, the Judicial Conference – which oversees federal courts – just made it easier for wealthy donors to secretly influence our highest court.  These new loosened rules would likely allow Justice Thomas to get away with hiding several of his previous stays at Harlan Crow’s properties.  We deserve better than this. With the stroke of a pen, the Supreme Court makes far-reaching decisions on reproductive rights, environmental protections, the freedom to vote, and so much more – affecting millions of people every day.  We deserve the full truth about the lavish gifts megadonors provide justices with – and what, if anything, they expect to get in return. With your help, we can uncover their attempts to curry favor with justices by passing a strong Supreme Court Code of Conduct to hold justices to the same high ethical standards as every other federal judge. Add your name to urge Congress to finally pass a REAL, enforceable Supreme Court Code of Conduct. 

Despite his 34 felony convictions, Donald Trump doesn’t have to worry about his eligibility to vote this fall. He has the wealth, connections, and privilege to ensure his voting rights would never be in question – not to mention a high-powered legal team paid for by his political donors due to gaps in campaign finance laws. But the 4.4 million ordinary Americans currently disenfranchised by felony convictions aren’t so lucky. Just look at Trump’s home state of Florida, where Governor Ron DeSantis has personally guaranteed that the former president will be able to cast a ballot this fall. In stark contrast, Black Florida residents have been dragged from their homes at gunpoint and arrested for the "crime" of not realizing they were ineligible to vote. It’s time to end this double standard and ensure NO American is denied their right to vote in federal elections. Add your name to tell Congress: Pass the Inclusive Democracy Act to restore full voting rights to all Americans with felony convictions.

Joining the campaign will benefit us by getting what we deserve.. Either that or I will make it one of my major goals to have companies like this shut down!

This is important to ensure that we do indeed have equal justice by the DOJ for all of the American people.

BREAKING: This week it was revealed that Texas Troopers severely violated the human rights of migrants seeking safety in the U.S. by denying them drinking water & literally pushing them back into the Rio Grande. This inhumane treatment was ordered by TX. Governor Abbot as a continuation of his administration’s anti-immigrant project Operation Lonestar by working closely with ICE & CBP to detain, abuse, and deport immigrants. In addition to his stunts of bussing of migrants out to other states, his administration has now installed razor wire barriers in the water of the Rio Grande that injure and make crossing much more dangerous. People including children, pregnant women, and babies have suffered serious injury & death as a result of these cruel tactics employed by Gov. Abbot’s administration. President Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas must act now to stop these human rights violations and provide relief to those who have suffered under TX Gov. Abbot’s abuse! They must investigate this and put an end to this abuse NOW! ADD YOUR NAME to demand President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas investigate and correct the treatment of migrants at our borders and offer relief to those who have suffered from Governor Abbott's actions!

Others should join our fight for rights! Prisoners in Missouri were given the right to an attorney. If they cannot afford one, one is appointed to them. So why is this right not given to the ones under guardianship? A psychiatric evaluation after a year in a locked facility will show the progress of one's health. Placing them in front of a Judge will get the courts more involved with their cases. When placed in a 24 hour 7 days a week locked down facility you are not given any amount of time that you will be in this facility. It could be a year it could be 12+ years. Prisoners are given an out date, but the non-criminal mentally ill are not given this right.

What if it were their mother daughter sister niece aunt uncle brother nephew father? Abuse happens to everyone and everyone deserves justice. Women children and YES even MEN are stuck in abusive relationships/situations. They all deserve the same help and protection from those harming them. If one signature can help save at least can help make the change then that's what is needed. Victims should've live the life of a victim they should live their lives as a survivor. They should be able to live without fear that their abuser can still hurt them. Restraining orders need to be more than just a piece of paper.

Amending the Rent Control and Tenant Protection Ordinance in favor of the Meadows owners, will create displacement of families, families with children in CCUSD, senior citizens, retirees, those with disabilities, residents who work in Culver City, while increasing the 43% of Culver City Renters who are rent burdened. Instead of serving the 48% of Culver City Residents who are renters, it will cause an exodus, and challenge those who are displaced. They will most likely be unable to relocate in Culver City or find affordable housing in neighboring communities. We are especially sensitive to displaced senior citizens and children who are pulled out of school before graduating as seniors from Culver City High School.

Domestic violence victims and children of contentious divorced should have additional protection from their abusers. Additional professionals that are knowledgeable about mental health should be involved in such a major decision such as injunctions and whether they should be lifted or permanent. If a thorough psychological evaluation is conducted on an abuser, this may help in seeing there are underlying disorders of concern.

All voters need to be represented. We should not have groups who are disenfranchised because of partisan politics.
