Good news: it’s #DocumentersDay 🧵🧵

In our city, dozens of public meetings happen every week that make decisions on schools, healthcare, voting, housing, and more. But those decisions can be hard to find or understand.

[Grand Rapids Documenters @GRDocumenters]

Documenters make government more responsive across the country and power reporting for dozens of other local newsrooms, all while getting paid and trained in civic skills.
