"Know Your Rights: Public Meetings in California"
Hosted by the League of Women Voters of California
 
Registration required.  Use the button below to register.
 
The First Amendment Coalition’s open-government experts will provide an in-depth presentation on your rights to access public meetings in California. The presentation will be 45 minutes, reserving 15 minutes at the end for questions. The presentation will focus on the Ralph M. Brown Act’s open-meeting requirements for local legislative bodies, including recent law changes that affect teleconferencing and decorum rules.
 
The session will cover:
  • your right to give public comment and what restrictions government bodies can place on the public;
  • what government business can be done behind closed doors;
  • common complaints from members of the public about accessing and participating in meetings;
  • and where First Amendment speech protections intersect with the government’s ability to manage proceedings. 
 
Closed Captioning will be enabled.
 
The materials and recording will be sent to everyone who registers.
 
Please share this invitation! Everyone is welcome.
