Arkansas Citizens for Transparency is a broad coalition of Arkansans working to protect our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) through an AR Constitutional Amendment. Many of us have strong disagreements on other political issues but we are united in this effort.
Our draft language is complete and you can find the draft by clicking/pressing here and the Signed Cover Letter here. The goal is to have language that achieves the following main goals WHILE keeping our coalition united in support:
1. Clearly establish citizen access to our government meetings, documents, messages and data as a constitutionally protected right. 2. Establish that the legislature may broaden public access but not restrict it without referring the question for a vote of the people. 3. Increase sanctions for those who willfully violate the rights protected by the amendment.
If you are interested in getting involved, or if you would like to connect with our campaign team for any reason, please submit a sign-up form, and check all the areas of interest that apply.
