Civil Rights & Civil Liberties: Fighting For Our Freedom

Everyone should be able to live safely and thrive – without being attacked for who we are, where we’re from, or what we believe.

America is supposed to be the land of freedom, but we haven’t always lived up to this promise for everyone. Instead, corrupt politicians and big corporations are trying to divide us and chip away at our fundamental freedoms. Causa común works closely with our allies a uphold the rule of law and ensure everyone feels safe, welcome, and respected. This means demanding equal access to justice, protecting our right to dissent, opposing political violence in all its forms, and holding firm against an Article V constitutional convention to defend our rights.
