Nominate Local Champions of Open Government

Pacifica Patch is participating in Sunshine Week 2012.

Do you know people in Pacifica who have championed local government transparency? Pacifica Patch is participating in Sunshine Week 2012, which begins on March 11, by promoting the Sunshine Week organization’s national Local Heroes contest. We’ll also be talking up, covering and conversing with you about open government and freedom of information on our site during that week, so stay tuned.

This week we want to kick that conversation off with a call to action to you to nominate local open government champions who have played a significant role fighting for local government transparency.

The deadline for nominations is Monday Feb. 20, so put this on your Must Do list right away. The winner will be honored in Washington. We'll share the winners with you.

Here’s a link to the Sunshine Week nomination form.
