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".
