It's crucial that the public be told what has been happening behind the scenes, what is happening now, and what they can expect to unfold in the days, weeks and months ahead. One way to accomplish this is through transparency in the form of documents. Support the #FOIA

Make no mistake: we want govt employees to be safe & not put themselves in harm's way as we all battle the #coronavirus pandemic. But we have to come together & figure out how to ensure their safety while also ensuring that journalists can provide the public w/info via #FOIA
