Democracy depends on accountability. But accountability is impossible when government actions are hidden from public view.

American Oversight uses public-records investigations and aggressive litigation to preserve evidence, expose corruption and other abuses of power, and force the release of information government officials would rather keep secret. Working alongside partners across the country, we identify emerging threats before they become national controversies and bring hidden facts to light.

Your donation makes this work possible. Every contribution helps ensure that journalists, advocates, lawmakers, and communities have the information they need to hold the government accountable.
