Freedom of Speech and Open Government

A picture of the people protesting on the street with the words Freedom of Speech and Open Government

The First Amendment is the cornerstone of our free society. The ACLU of Missouri is dedicated to ensuring that all people are free to express themselves – politically, artistically, socially and through other forms of personal expression – without government interference.

The ACLU of Missouri is committed to advocating for strong open government laws and to ensuring that government is transparent and that people have access to public meetings and government records, which enable them to hold the government accountable.
