Open Records: Tools for Citizens, Journalists, and Everyone in Between
Learn how to use the Freedom on Information Act and your state’s open records laws to gain access to important information. Campaign contributions, court records, votes by elected officials, government contracts – these are all public knowledge - but you have to know where to look. Learn how to dig for information, file formal requests with government agencies, navigate evasive or unhelpful government officials, and get access to the information you need to keep government transparent and democratic.
