What We Do

OpenTheGovernment.org is a coalition of 80+ organizations united to make the federal government more open and accountable. We were formed in 2003 to help organize and amplify the voices of good- and limited- government groups, environmentalists, journalists, library and consumer groups, labor, and others who believe open government is essential to ensuring integrity and accountability in the operation of our governing institutions, fosters confidence in representative government, makes us safer, strengthens public trust in government, and supports our democratic principles.
