Spilna Sprava (Ukrainian: Спільна справа, English: Common Cause) is a Ukrainian radical opposition group, which came into existence in December 2010 during the 2010 Maidan protests (22 November - 2 December 2010) in Kiev against the fiscal policies of the Government of Ukraine. It advocated honest parliamentary and local elections, people's control over parliament between elections and fiscal reform. As a political pressure group, Spilna Sprava embraced non-parliamentary means of political mobilization, along with the Right Sector it formed a radical wing of the Euromaidan. The usage of upside-down national colors represents a political standpoint and symbolizes national emergency, protest and call for action.
In December 2010, Spilna Sprava tried to implement a national referendum about discontinuing of the electoral mandates of the members of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and peaceful removal of President Yanukovich from power, whom Spilna Sprava accused in dictatorial ways of running the country. After referendum was denied, an electronic signature-gathering started. It was claimed by the Spilna Sprava that on 12 April 2011 nearly 250 000 signatures were collected.
In Spring 2011, Spilna Sprava attempted on 14 May 2011 to stage a number of protests across cities in Ukraine culminating with the Indignation Day (Day of Anger) in Kiev - massive demonstrations and rallies at the Presidential Administration and Verkhovna Rada buildings. The anti-government protest in Kiev failed as 300-400 protesters were confronted by nearly 1,500 riot police officers.
In Summer 2011, Spilna Sprava tried to jump-start a new anti-government Maidan in Kiev on 8 August 2011, however, without much effect.
