Open Data Advocacy

What We Do

We request, analyze, and publish public records using Freedom of Information Act and Open Records laws. This work focuses on making justice system data accessible, understandable, and usable by the public.

What You'll See

This page features FOIA requests, released records, data analysis, reports, and explanations of what the information reveals. It highlights how access to data uncovers patterns that would otherwise remain hidden.

Why It Matters

Access to information allows people to participate in decisions that affect their lives. By opening records and translating data into insight, we help communities, journalists, and advocates understand systems of power.
