Mission
The 1A Rights campaign is committed to ensuring government openness and transparency are present at every level in the state of Florida. As it is critical to citizen trust and involvement in our democratic society.

Vision
We will create a coalition of watchdogs actively watching, protecting, and advocating for government openness and transparency for all Floridians. We believe the rights of freedom of speech and press enshrined in the First Amendment, as well as for open meetings and access to public records protected by the Florida constitution and statutes. Through ongoing monitoring of the state’s laws and decision-making and the education of government officials and citizens, we will promote the public’s constitutional right to oversee and to participate freely in the governance process.

First Amendment Foundation
The First Amendment Foundation is a highly visible and accessible source of authoritative information, expertise and assistance to the public and news media. Founded as a non-profit organization in 1984 by The Florida Press Association, the Florida Society of Newspapers Editors and the Florida Association of Broadcasters to ensure that public commitment and progress in the areas of free speech, free press, and open government do not become checked and diluted during Florida’s changing times.
