About This Project

Why does this site exist?

Because the city of Miami, Oklahoma has a transparency problem, and nobody else was documenting it. This site is run by the MoveWeight Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We aggregate public records, meeting transcripts, court filings, news coverage, and watchdog reporting — all in one place. No login. No paywall. No ads.

This started with one question: why is it so hard to know what your own city government is doing? We are building practical tools to answer that question: FOIA submission, public-source monitoring, crime feed, meeting transcripts, evidence archives, and plain-language links back to original records.

How It Works

🔍

Data Collection

We scrape, download, and archive public information from government sites, YouTube feeds, court databases, and news outlets. If it's public, we collect it before it disappears.

🎯

Smart Filtering

We filter for Miami and Ottawa County relevance. No clickbait, no out-of-state noise — just what matters here.

🌐

Open Access

Everything we publish is already public record. We just organize it so you can actually find it and use it.
