Curious where to start when it comes to FOIA and public records? Want something from government but not sure how to ask? This Thursday we’re hosting a free FOIA 101 training to help you become a better requester. The training is online and free, but RSVPs are required to reserve your place.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 health emergency, we’re cancelling our in person events this year. We look forward to convening with you virtually to celebrate this Sunshine Week from the comfort of your home with events in the near future.

Although it feels like we’re just getting started, today marks MuckRock’s tenth anniversary. To our amazing team, past and present, as well as everyone who has used the service, read our stories, or who supports our cause, thank you.

The last few weeks we’ve been heads down on DocumentCloud work, so no new user-facing features this past week. Want to work on transparency tools of your own? Join us Tuesday nights in Cambridge as we work on our Code for Boston project, GovLens.

Have an idea for a public records request that can unlock important stories at the state, local, or federal level? Share it with the world and get a shot at more than $1,000 in prizes.
