Helping people understand and use Pennsylvania open records and open meeting laws, and promoting government transparency throughout the state. The Pennsylvania FOI Coalition is a nonprofit alliance formed to ensure that all Pennsylvanians have full and open access to their federal, state and local governments, their records and their proceedings.The coalition stresses that such access results in the most responsive and effective government, and, in turn, stimulates civic involvement and trust in government.The organization aims to preserve and improve access to all aspects of government, to achieve a presumption of access, to fund and implement grassroots and educational access efforts, to educate legislators in the need for access, and to participate fully in efforts to improve legislation to ensure the fullest possible access to government.It will assist all Pennsylvanians - including individual citizens, students, educators, the media, professionals, and others in business in the private and public sectors - in fully realizing their rights and carrying out their responsibilities as citizens in our democracy.
