Support Common Cause — Volunteer
Make sure every voter can cast their ballot safely and successfully
TAKE ACTION: Sign up here to be an Election Protection volunteer.
Every election cycle, California Common Cause and Asian Law Caucus recruit and train volunteers to serve as a supportive, nonpartisan presence for voters. Voters of color, immigrant communities, young voters, and voters with limited English proficiency can face some of the greatest barriers to participating in our elections. When issues arise, our volunteers can be the difference between someone giving up and someone successfully casting
their ballot.
Please help!
Our elections depend on ordinary people who make sure voting runs smoothly and everyone's vote is counted — people like you. You can make sure we have safe, fair, efficient elections for all. Learn more and get plugged in as a poll worker with our friends at Power the Polls.

Calling your representative is the best way to make your voice heard
Once your congressperson forms a public stance on an issue, it’s hard for them to walk it back
The earlier they hear your opinion, the more likely it is you’ll make an impact
Calling is by far the most effective way to ensure that your representative hears you before they take a public stance
