Sen. Elizabeth Warren to discuss People's Pledge on June 10th

Tuesday's conference call for Common Cause supporters with Sen. Elizabeth Warren. 
She'll be discussing the "People's Pledge," used to limit the role of big money in her 2012 Senate campaign and how it can be applied to refocus elections across the country on voters, not big dollar donors.


We have exciting news. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), whose bold agreement to an innovative plan for breaking the power of big money in politics helped make her a national figure, will share lessons learned from her 2012 campaign's "People's Pledge" in a call next week with Common Cause supporters.


WHO: Sen Elizabeth Warren and activists around the country who are fed up about the power of big money in politics.

WHAT: Conference call on the "People's Pledge," and how to get congressional and gubernatorial candidates to join in taking it.

WHEN: Tuesday, June 10, 7:30 p.m. EDT

In 2012, then-candidates Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Scott Brown devised the "People’s Pledge" for their Senate race in Massachusetts. The agreement largely kept out-of-state Super PACs and political non-profit groups out of the contest, made the campaigns more accountable, increased the role of small dollar donors, and reduced negative advertising.

Common Cause is working to replicate the People's Pledge in key races around the country. We're excited to have Sen. Warren joining us to share with you how this creative agreement worked in her campaign.


Thanks for all you do,

The team at Common Cause
