The Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition is a nonprofit alliance dedicated to protecting access to governmental and judicial records and proceedings in Colorado. It serves journalists, attorneys, community activists, librarians, booksellers, students, and voters, providing support to obtain public information and raising awareness of open-government issues through its blog and social media. Based in Denver, the organization aims to empower residents to participate in the democratic process by facilitating access to information, with a hotline backed by leading media-law attorneys who also serve on the board. The coalition operates within the civic and social sector, focusing on transparency and accountability across government and the judiciary, and it expanded its leadership with the appointment of an executive director in late 2013. }
