About this listen
In this episode, we break down one of the most powerful tools available to the public: the California Public Records Act (PRA). We explain what the PRA is, who can make requests, how to submit one effectively, and why this process is essential for transparency and accountability in our communities.
Whether you’re a volunteer, a nonprofit leader, or a community member trying to understand how decisions are made, the PRA can unlock information that supports meaningful policy reform. We discuss how public records shape our work in animal and human welfare, how data reveals system-level challenges, and how empowered residents can use this tool to drive positive change.
Clear, practical, and rooted in real-world impact—this episode is a guide to understanding your right to information and using it to strengthen community advocacy.
