Hello all, Please join us for this interactive webinar this #laborspring and please share it with your networks. Please join the Harry Bridges Center on *Wednesday, April 19th* from *12:30 - 2 pm* to discuss the role of public record requests and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in labor research and beyond. We will discuss Washington State's Public Record Act and the FOIA, specifically what these acts allow and how they support researchers and anyone interested in accessing materials that are within the purview of the acts. Our panel will include *Joyce Sinakhone*, a union researcher at SEIU Healthcare 1199NW, *Phil Neff*, a Research Coordinator at the University of Washington Center for Human Rights, and *Trevor Griffey*, a Labor Historian at UC Irvine, and the co-founder of the Seattle Civil Rights and Labor History Project. In addition to receiving information, advice, and examples of public record requests, workshop participants will have a chance to receive support in submitting any public record request they are working on! *Required registration for zoom event:* here <https://washington.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0tdeGqqTMuGtFg8668b__dGOGlOnyBcmQZ> Please reach out to Rachel Erstad (rerstad@uw.edu), Research Coordinator of the Harry Bridges Center with any questions.
