The Connecticut Council on Freedom of Information (CCFOI) is a nonprofit organization that works to enhance the public’s right to know and fend off unrelenting attempts to erode the Freedom of Information Act and impede the news media’s ability to uncover wrongdoing.
Working closely with the state Freedom of Information Commission, CCFOI plays a pivotal and often lonely role in the debate over preserving and protecting government transparency.
Rest assured, the opponents of open government will again be front and center in the legislative session beginning in January as they try to double down on secrecy. As it has in the past, CCFOI will work tirelessly in seeking to repel harmful bills and gain passage of vitally important ones.
Please help CCFOI defend the Freedom of Information Act and protect a fundamental tenet of democracy: the public’s and news media’s right to open government. In today’s legislative environment, the services of a professional lobbyist has proven to be essential. In addition to the
many hours of volunteer work by its members, CCFOI also employs a lobbyist, whose fee must be paid. Thus your financial support is critically important in helping CCFOI continue to shine a light on the activities of state and local governments, their employees and officeholders.
