The New England First Amendment Coalition will be celebrating Sunshine Week with an expert, online panel discussion at 7 p.m. ET on March 23.
The discussion will focus on the future of online public meetings in Rhode Island and other potential changes to the state’s open meeting law. The event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
The event is also sponsored by Common Cause Rhode Island, ACLU Rhode Island, the Rhode Island Press Association and the League of Women Voters of Rhode Island.
When the pandemic began two years ago, our government moved online. Since then we have seen the good and the bad of online public meetings. Join us for a discussion about what the future holds for online public meetings in Rhode Island. We will hear from advocates and practitioners about the pros and cons of government by Zoom.
