Hosted by the League of Women Voters of California, the First Amendment Coalition’s open-government experts will provide an in-depth presentation on your rights to access public meetings in California. The presentation will be 45 minutes, reserving 15 minutes at the end for questions.

The session will cover:
  • Your right to give public comment and what restrictions government bodies can place on the public
  • What government business can be done behind closed doors
  • Common complaints from members of the public about accessing and participating in meetings
  • Where First Amendment speech protections intersect with the government’s ability to manage proceedings.
