Sunshine Week is approaching!

Calling all cartoonists! Come lend your talents to the cause of open government.
Sunshine Week is rapidly approaching. It’s that time of year again when we are asked to submit ‘freedom of information’ cartoons for the greater good. Here is more info from the organizers:
Sunshine Week is mid-March every year. It’s coordinated by the American Society of News Editors and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, but participants come from all media, government, schools, civic and nonprofit groups and other related areas. The idea is to get as many people as possible talking about, writing about, doing stuff about — and drawing about — the importance of open government and freedom of information.

OUR MISSION

The mission of the AAEC is to champion and defend editorial cartooning and free speech as essential to liberty in the United States and throughout the world.

The AAEC aims to be an international leader in support of the human, civil, and artistic rights of editorial cartoonists around the world, and to stand with other international groups in support of the profession.
