Tell Congress: Close Freedom of Information Act Loophole

In 2019 — upending a 45-year precedent and (once again) siding with corporate interests — the Supreme Court opened a gaping hole in the Freedom of Information Act by expanding the kinds of information that corporations can insist be excluded from FOIA requests.

The Court made it easier for Corporate America to hide government documents about medical and food safety, pollution, wasting of taxpayer dollars, and more.

It’s up to Congress to close this loophole in the Freedom of Information Act.

To Congress

The American people are counting on Congress to close the Freedom of Information Act loophole that the Supreme Court opened with its misguided Argus Leader ruling. We urge you to pass legislation that will restore the definition of “confidential” that had been in place for 45 years before the Supreme Court expanded it beyond all reason.
