The New York Coalition for Open Government — with co-sponsors The Buffalo History Museum, LWVBN and the Partnership for Public Good – invite you to commemorate the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL). It was created to ensure public access to government, enabling citizens to participate meaningfully and hold government officials accountable. But where does it stand today?

Highlights:

• A conversation of FOIL’s history and effectiveness with Coalition President Paul Wolf, North Tonawanda Mayor Austin Tylec, and West Seneca Supervisor Gary Dickson
• Practical tips on using FOIL to access government information and improve transparency
• A look at current challenges in the FOIL process and how we can address them.

Free and open to everybody. RSVP using this link so that we can gauge attendance.
