(Technically, FOIA law only covers federal executive agencies, but people use the acronym as a blanket term) Come join us as we gather the community of citizen journalists, muck-rakers, and rabble rousers to talk about what we've learned. What even are records requests? What applies to who? How to get started (We'll break into small groups all work up simple example requests from an example template) Research and data wrangling tips when you get back more than what you expected This will be a virtual meeting on Zoom, link TBD. https://actionnetwork.org/events/awg-foia-teach-in
