I’m excited to announce a new project from Public Equals Online and the Sunlight Foundation. Over the next few weeks and months, we’ll be developing – in large part through public blog posts such as this one – a curriculum, or guide, on how to do state level organizing and advocacy around transparency and open government.

This project was inspired by a partnership with the Roosevelt Campus Network, a group of passionate, policy-oriented students at 86 campuses around the country who wanted to learn more about the way government works and how to improve it. Using this curriculum, they’ll be researching transparency policies in their states, choosing policies they want to see implemented or changed, and advocating to make those policies into reality.
