Our campaign is working to tackle government corruption and usher in a new political culture for the city. In order to reform the system over the next four years, we first need to fully understand the depth and breadth of the problem. Interns will dig into current issues in the city, file records requests, and inform the public of issues in their government. Interns will work with an experienced investigative journalist to learn how to navigate laws and regulations relating to information disclosure.
