Open the States is a website associated with Convention of States Project, also known as Convention of States Action,[1][2][3] an "ad-hoc coalition" of individuals who want government to end some or all of the restrictions on economic activity and public life that were imposed as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.[4] Convention of States Action's parent organization is Citizens for Self-Governance.[4] According to Politico, "The Convention of States' efforts are among several national conservative groups, such as FreedomWorks, that have helped organize anti-lockdown protests across the country."[2] Center for Media and Democracy said Citizens for Self-Governance "does business as the Convention of States Foundation (COSF)";[1] Boston University's BU Today stated "Convention of States created a sock puppet organization called Open the States to hide their role in the campaign".[5]
Convention of States Action (COSA) is a project of the right-wing nonprofit, Citizens for Self-Governance, and has a web page devoted to its new initiative, "Open the States".
