Each week Atlanta Documenters take fact-checked notes at public meetings across Metro Atlanta, creating people-powered civic engagement that makes local government accessible and accountable while connecting our communities to information they need. 

Housing, Development, Transit, Public Safety, and Zoning are just a handful of topics that Atlanta Documenters regularly cover in public meetings, which help keep you informed about how the Atlanta Region’s cities and counties are spending local dollars. 

Today we’re launching a fundraiser to keep Documenters on duty! Our goal is $5,000 by September 22—and every gift is doubled 1-to-1 by NewsMatch/City Bureau, with up to $5,000 in matching funds. Your support sustains the stipends, training, editing, and rapid publishing that keep this civic lifeline running.

Give now to double your impact and keep Atlanta’s public meetings public.
