Invisible Institute is an incredible group. They are one of the few journalist groups who are interested in solving complex problems rather than simply reporting on them. If anyone is interested in doing similar work, it's surprisingly easy to get into by using FOIA. Just submit a request for something that interests you and pursue it when (not if) you get resistance. My contribution to the ongoing lack of police oversight was a request for police complaints that was never responded to. Since I received no response and Illinois FOIA has actions based on unresponsiveness, my lawyer - who I think the invisible Institute shares - had something extra to build a case for the release of police complaints. It didn't lead to anything being released, but it was still helpful. Every bit counts!
