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

Topics covered will include:

  • Where to find FOIA inspiration
  • How to turn your questions into specific documents to ask for
  • Where to look for appeal help
  • How to get an inside look into government records systems before you file.

We’re excited for you to join us!
