Sunshine Week 2026 is only a month away!
It's a great opportunity to learn about how you can better use public records requests.
Reach out to me at katherine@insideinvestigator.org and tell me what topics you want to hear about during #sunshineweek.
To enter, REPLY or quote using #SunshineWeek and tell us why you value government transparency!
Government transparency is valuable because if people don’t know what their government is doing, they can’t push back against immoral actions that it may be taking. Plus, if things like Watergate or Iran-Contra were completely hidden, there would be no consequences for wrongdoing #SunshineWeek
