To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
A copy of all emails, memorandums and reports concerning assistance the FBI has given to local law enforcement around monitoring protests and demonstrations associated with the Black Lives Matter movement from 2014-2019, as well as any communications from local law enforcement requesting assistance regardless of whether that assistance was granted. Please do not include already-released documents on this subject, which I have attached to this request.
I request that I be properly classified as a news media requester. I am an intern for MuckRock, and I am requesting this information in that editorial capacity. MuckRock is widely known for its investigative work as well as historical pieces based on public records requests.
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.
