Black Lives Matter Protests (Federal Bureau of Investigation)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

Case files pertaining to Black Lives Matter protests in the United States in May and June 2020. These documents may contain references to Black Lives Matter, protest(s), looting or looters, riot(s), and police. I am also interested in written records and/or copies communications, including but not limited to emails and text messages, from agents on the ground in Minneapolis, St. Louis, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Miami, Washington DC, Boston, Philadelphia, and New York City.

As a contributing writer for National Geographic, I request all fees for this request to be waived.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Renner
