Alex HowardGreat idea for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SunshineWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SunshineWeek</a> and the rest of the year, too! It would be awesome if journalism based on records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act also always published documents or data, especially when governments take down websites & original sources. <a href="https://freedom.press/issues/wired-is-dropping-paywalls-for-foia-based-reporting-others-should-follow/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://freedom.press/issues/wired-is-dropping-paywalls-for-foia-based-reporting-others-should-follow/</a>

Daniel SchumanOpen and transparency government is necessary for the rule of law and for democracy -- that's the US experience back to before the founding, through the postal service, the civil war, the defeat of Jim Crow, and to the present. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SunshineWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SunshineWeek</a> is the celebration of the tools that empower us to govern ourselves and a call to arms to fortify ourselves against the storm that is to come. <a href="https://www.popvox.org/first-branch-forecast/sunshine-week" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.popvox.org/first-branch-forecast/sunshine-week</a>
