The Receipts Campaign: Open Justice and the Fight to See the System

A first-pass profile of the transparency outfit trying to make hidden evidence and public process easier to inspect.

What they are building

Open Justice UK is working on transparency and access: making legal/public-process evidence easier for normal people, journalists, researchers, and reformers to inspect.

Why they matter

Makes hidden evidence, public process, and institutional accountability easier to inspect.

What this profile should verify

The source pass should check public materials, visible outputs, claims, current asks and useful next actions before stronger claims are made.

What they need next

A barrier map for transcripts and court records, a cost evidence pack, and a plain-English explainer of what public access currently does and does not allow.
