 We’re celebrating Sunshine Week!

Here at the BGA, we love basking in the sunlight of open government and easily accessible public records. And this year marks the tenth anniversary of Sunshine Week—a chance every year to celebrate access to public information.

The BGA has a long history of fighting for transparency. In the last month, we’ve filed a few legal actions on this issue.

Want to get involved? Check out our resources on filing a Freedom of Information Act request.

Or better yet, attend our Idea Forum in Springfield March 24 on the future of FOIA in Illinois.

Let us know how you’re celebrating your right to know at info@bettergov.org.

Watson enjoying the sunshine.
