Information is Power: First Amendment, Public Records, and Freedom of the Press

Information is Power: The First Amendment, Public Records, and the Press. Freedom of the press, access to public records, and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) are the tools that keep governments accountable and democracy strong. But those rights only matter if we actually use them.

In an age where access to information is increasingly challenged—and sometimes outright attacked—how can students, journalists, and everyday citizens step up to protect and exercise these freedoms?

Join us for an interactive mini-conference that shows you how to use the First Amendment and FOIA to uncover the truth, hold power accountable, and protect your future, led by experts who fight these battles every day.

Monday, October 27, 12- 3 pm

12–1 PM | The First Amendment, Decoded
1–2 PM | Hacking Transparency: FOIA in Action
2–3 PM | Ask the Experts: Information Law, Press Cases, and You
