Documenters
WHAT IS DOCUMENTERS?
We train and pay people to attend under-reported public meetings in Omaha and publish the results.
We are part of a national network of organizations that seeks to help people understand what’s going on in their local communities by making important information available to the public, encouraging open conversations, and inspiring people to get involved.
