When is National Freedom of Information Day?
Every year on March 16.
What is National Freedom of Information Day?
National Freedom of Information Day, observed every March 16, honors President James Madison on his birthday by celebrating the public's right to access government records. First celebrated in 1989 by the Freedom of Information Center, the day promotes access laws like the U.S. FOIA, encourages civic literacy, and reminds journalists and citizens of their right to petition agencies for documents.
How to celebrate
Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
