CONTRIBUTE

Tell Us What Happened

If you sent a public records request, contacted a legislator, or pitched a reporter using this toolkit, share what happened.

There is no intake form and no contact email. If you have already used these materials and want to share results, send a direct message on LinkedIn. Anonymized contributions will help build the cross-state record that the next round of reform depends on.

The most useful contributions are:

  • Public records requests you sent, with the response (or non-response) you received.
  • Legislator outreach — who you contacted, what the conversation was, what followed.
  • Journalist pitches — what got picked up, what didn't, what reporters asked for.
  • Refusals and denials in any form. The pattern of refusals is itself a story.

Please do not send material from an active case. See the use policy.

INQUIRE VIA LINKEDIN
