Make transparency a broad “good governance” demand by organizing diverse stakeholders around a simple expectation: publish key planning information early, in usable formats, and invite input while options are still open.

The goal is steady pressure that makes it harder for opaque planning to proceed quietly.

Why this works

How Save Our Wild Salmon Coalition uses funding

About Media
  1. Define the objective and decision-maker: what must be disclosed, when, and in what format.
  2. Build a coalition and shared message kit that different stakeholders can use without drift.
  3. Produce clear explainers and case examples that show why earlier access changes outcomes.
  4. Time letters, testimony, and placements to planning milestones and legislative windows.
  5. Monitor response and adapt tactics while keeping claims grounded in documented facts.
