Want to know what’s happening at City Council, the School Board, or the Planning Commission?
Philly Documenters are showing up, taking notes, and helping make local government more accessible—one meeting at a time.
Since 2023, we’ve trained over 300 Philly residents to document public meetings across the city. From detailed notes to timestamped audio, they’re creating public records that help our communities stay informed, ask better questions, and understand how decisions get made.
Now you can explore that work all in one place:

This is what people-powered media looks like: everyday Philadelphians showing up, listening closely, and sharing what they learn.
