The Center for Open GovernmentFormer Supreme Court Justice, Louis Brandeis, observed that “the
most important office in a democracy is the office of citizen.”
The Center for Open Government exists to support citizens who
seek to exercise the powers of their office. Citizens need a
constant stream of information to provide meaningful attention to
the actions of government. Deprived of such information, they cannot
monitor their elected and appointed leaders and cannot hold them
accountable. Although laws ensuring openness and access to information
are in place, most citizens are intimidated by the thought of navigating
the legal system to enforce those laws. The Center offers the
legal resources necessary to empower those citizens and stands with
them as they exercise the powers of their office.
