Friend –

Did you know that California has a law that helps fight corruption and backroom dealings that benefit special interests?

Every Californian should know about the Brown Act. But unfortunately, many people have never heard of this valuable tool for holding local elected officials accountable.

The Brown Act ensures that we all get a say when local government decisions are being made that affect our communities.

Watch our new Brown Act video to learn more about how the law works and how you can use it to make your voice heard. Share it with your friends and family. <[link removed]>

The Brown Act gives us all the right to attend and participate in public meetings of most local governing bodies.

Think school boards. City councils. County boards of supervisors.

Read our new Brown Act Know Your Rights primer to find out more. If anyone tries to stop you from exercising your civic rights, you'll know just what to do. <[link removed]>

The Brown Act is a valuable tool. But like any tool, it only works if you use it.

In solidarity,
