Know Your Rights: California Public Meetings
Tuesday, January 31, 2023 from Noon to 1pm Pacific
Zoom registration: https://firstamendmentcoalition-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_xbxRlJTzSD-tq2ctma83lA
Hosted by the League of Women Voters of California, 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 legislation that affects teleconferencing and decorum rules. It will also address:
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.
Please
share this invitation! Images are attached for your use. Everyone is welcome. This will be a great
training for staff or volunteers who provide public comment or
participate in other ways.
Happy to answer questions & for your feedback.
