I’ve said this before, but 404 Media is the type of journalism we need right now:

Over the next few weeks, we will be filing hundreds of public records requests with state, local, and federal governments and school districts with the hope of unearthing more information about the groups, politicians, and monied interests that have been pushing book bans and educational censorship on American public schools and libraries.

The 404 team is soliciting support from citizen journalists, librarians, teachers, educators and parents for tips & leads on where to begin.
