Help protect the truth, our vote, and our voice
TWO STEP STRATEGY
1 • SIGN UP to Empower the pro-democracy coalition
in the courts and places of maximum impact
Common Cause leads that coalition nationwide.
You are signing up at our Common Cause Illinois / Jingles for Democracy landing page to connect with the national network, your state team, and the 1.5 million members already on this perpetual digital march to save our democracy. There are also a wide variety of additional ways for people to participate at their convenience and on their own terms.
2 • SIGN UP @ Jingles For Democracy
and get our newsletter
We amplify that impact
by sharing jingles
and inspiring others to join.
IMAGINE: You share a one jingle. One friend signs up to join the 1.5 million. That friend happens to be a retired attorney in Michigan. Next November, she volunteers as a poll observer. She stops an illegal challenge that would’ve tossed 800 ballots. Another person might volunteer to register voters. That’s why getting only one person to join is significant.
Note: Jingles for Democracy never asks for money. Common Cause may invite donations. Both are free to sign up.
Use JinglesForDemocracy.com as a LINK FOR CIVIC ACTION. Increase the impact of any post, video, public movement, by including that link. It helps spread the word. It also serves as a pro-active response in political discourse.

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.

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.
