(1/4) That shouldn’t happen. Ever. FOIA delays like this block access to information the public has a right to see. Transparency delayed is transparency denied.

FOIA is basically Kermit with the tea — calm, unbothered, and always ready to spill the real story. ☕👀 Transparency isn’t drama. It’s accountability. And FOIA always has the receipts. #FOIA #OpenGovernment #RightToKnow #GovernmentTransparency #Accountability #SpillTheTea

Amazing how something as “small” as FOIA ends up propping up all of democratic society. Remove transparency and the whole thing shakes. Protect it, use it, defend it. Democracy stands because the public can see. 💡 #FOIA #OpenGovernment #Transparency #RightToKnow #Accountability

Open government = transparency + accountability + public participation. It’s not just access — it’s two-way communication between residents and their government. DCOGC works to keep D.C.’s records and meetings open to the people. #OpenGov #DCOGC #DC

The Coalition on April 14 wrote to groups across the city, urging them to contact the D.C. Council to reject anti-transparency legislation. Council’s plan is ill conceived and will harm the public’s right to know!. Letters at dcogc.org, on home page under Update. Contact rbecker@dcappeals.com
