Rally to the Cause and Join the Missouri Sunshine Coalition!

The Missouri Sunshine Coalition supports Missouri citizens in exercising their rights under the landmark Sunshine Law — a mission that is a blend of education and advocacy and that never has been more important than during these remarkable times.

Supporting Transparency and Open Government

The Missouri Sunshine Coalition promotes awareness of open and transparent government. Our members help keep the public informed of the abuses of open government and hold elected officials accountable for those actions that ignore the public’s legal right to truly public meetings and access to government records

Sunshine is the Greatest Disinfectant

The Sunshine Law works for everyone — young or old, those of all races and incomes, whether your allegiances are with Republicans, Democrats or another political movement
