The James Madison Freedom of Information Awards recognize Northern California organizations and individuals who have made significant contributions to advancing freedom of information and/or expression in the spirit of James Madison, the creative force behind the First Amendment. SPJ NorCal presents the awards near Madison’s birthday, March 16, and National Freedom of Information Week, which is March 11-18 this year.

Located at the Delancy Street Town Hall, the evening will feature silent auctions for wine and books as well as raffles. The festivities will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a no-host bar, followed by dinner.
