Mission

Recognizing that democracy works only when citizens know what their governments are doing, the purposes of the Nevada Freedom of Information Coalition are to promote and defend the rights provided to the citizens of Nevada under the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, the Constitution of Nevada and other statutes, laws and ordinances guaranteeing freedom of expression and access both to public records and to the public decision-making process.

The Nevada Freedom of Information Coalition unites organizations and individuals interested in ensuring and enhancing the public’s access to government activity, records and meetings. The nonpartisan coalition educates people about their rights and supports their efforts to gain access, advocate the principles and benefits of open government, and initiates or assists in legal proceedings when necessary.
