Were you listed as an “inactive voter” when you arrived at the polls yesterday?

Massachusetts is the ONLY state where your voter status can be downgraded if you don’t return the municipal census - we need to change this arbitrary, unnecessary, and outdated statute.

Today, Common Cause Massachusetts joined our friends from the Massachusetts Black Lawyers Association, Massachusetts Black Women Attorneys - MBWA, The Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts, and many other groups to rally at the State House.

The event was held in solidarity with national organizations including Common Cause, the NAACP, the Urban League, and the National Bar Association who were rallying in Washington, D.C. at today's March on Washington to defend democracy and voting rights.

Today's March on Washington falls on the 63rd anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington and reaffirms our commitment to combatting threats to our voting rights at both the federal and state level.
