Arclight Action · Austin
Arclight AustinHolding local government and its contractors accountable.
We file public records requests on how City and County dollars flow to contractors and publish the records we receive, so taxpayers can see it for themselves. By coordinating with other Austin residents, we can avoid duplicate requests, share information, and help keep local government and its contractors accountable to the taxpayer.

For civically engaged Austin residents
Coordinate with us.
Interested in an agency, a contractor, or how local dollars are being spent? Let’s coordinate the records requests so we can cover more ground and avoid duplicating work.
Texas law allows agencies to track staff time by requester. Coordinating distinct requests among residents can spread the workload across those limits. Fees may still apply to individual requests.
