THE STRATEGY

Using welcoming, non-adversarial music videos, we reach out to all democracy loving Americans and offer an easeful way to empower the well-equipped pro-democracy forces fighting in the places where the battles to protect our democracy and our vote, are won or lost.

Why Common Cause and why it’s significant

We chose Common Cause (with its 1.5 million members) to consolidate and focus the people’s power to one maximum point of impact, bringing all pro-democracy groups together in one place. Common Cause is a leading organization in this democracy coalition. They are a well-equipped, effective, nonpartisan watchdog, and a major force in winning for our voices, our votes, and our democracy, in the courts, legislatures, and choice public movements, for over 50 years. Common Cause offers many different levels and styles of involvement accessible to you… or you can just stay signed up and be counted. When you are with Common Cause you are connected to 100s of pro-democracy organizations.

Engaging with the videos and sharing the Jingles For Democracy .com civic action link with your friends and networks to gather everyone to this page will bring much needed light to the discourse and in turn can spark a growth leading millions to stand together behind the work to save our democracy, our rights, and our freedoms at the last line of defense, and really make a difference.

What about the midterms?

The growth of this movement now, will give the get out the vote and protect the vote initiatives a giant head start. You can stay in the peaceful oasis of positive action and opt-in for the email notifications or just share the videos on your own - spreading joy and protecting our voices and our votes, now and into the future.

So sign up both at CommonCause.org and JinglesForDemocracy.com/contact. However you feel on any given day there are opportunities to participate, or simply stand in solidarity. Together we can all help turn this into a movement for change.

P.S. None of these activities pre-empts anything else we do to protect democracy, including protests and petitions. This project is in “addition” to all that, but is unique - call it avant-garde because it mainly takes the fight to the courts and legislatures. Common Cause supported the No Kings Rally for instance and curates all activities that will provide maximum impact. In the best ways, Common Cause is the “go to” for any concerns about democracy,

Disclaimer: No-one on Jingles for Democracy team is a spokesperson for Common Cause nor represents them in any way, though Holly and I helped start the new Common Cause Illinois chapter in 2010 and served on the advisory board for 15 years. I chose Common Cause as the #1 leader in the defense of democracy back then and I haven’t changed my mind.
