Honor Freedom of Information Day with James Madison Coins
March 16, 2026
Freedom of Information isn’t just a phrase, it’s a philosophy – the idea that government is open to the public and transparent to all. It’s an idea that traces back to America’s earliest days as a fledgling nation, and when James Madison, known as the Father of the Constitution, advocated for an open government. That is why Freedom of Information Day, proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan in 1988, is celebrated each year on James Madison’s birthday – March 16.
