1/ While we wouldn’t do last year over again, #CHIdocumenters saw a lot happen in open meetings, local government and activism. So, before we put it behind us, here’s the story of 2020 through our eyes

2/ Back in January ‘20 #CHIdocumenters documented all meetings in person and had to navigate all that came with that...There's no one right way to run an open meeting but this setup wasn’t exactly "public-facing” / @rogueclown

3/ #COVID19 was on the horizon––Dr. Allison Arwady called it at this @ChiPublicHealth meeting on February 19––but the average Chicagoan didn’t have an inkling of what would happen next / @britahunegs

4/ The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District @MWRDGC expected to celebrate every possible holiday this year in a similar fashion––how could it be otherwise? / @amelia_diehl

5/ Independently, however, some public bodies were upping their government transparency game by proactively posting meeting materials and resources online (@ChicagoDPD)
