It’s an honor to welcome life-long activist and freedom fighter Carl Malamud to our advisory board. Carl has made a career of fighting for our civil and digital rights by liberating tax-payer funded information that has been held hostage and resold back to the American people for a profit.

His activism career began in the 1990’s when he published the SEC database (EDGAR) online that was previously only viewable in a special reading room in Washington, D.C. or resold by private corporations for a high price.

He then went on to work with the National Archives after they had made a deal with Amazon who were profiteering from selling the video library back to the people – everything from the moon landing to JFK’s inauguration speech. Carl crowdsourced volunteers to not only buy the videos from Amazon and upload them on YouTube but he convinced the National Archives to allow his volunteers in and copy the media in their vaults in Washington, D.C. and upload it. That YouTube channel is still being used today.

Most recently Carl founded Public Resource (public.resource.org), a non-profit organization that has for the last 15 years posted the laws of the United States for all citizens to read freely. They are responsible for making the fire, electrical, building, and other public safety codes available for free on the Internet. Previously these codes were sold by standards organizations for a profit, forcing everyone from contractors to fire fighters to pay to read the laws that they were legally obligated to adhere to.

When sued by standards organizations for posting the law, he fought back in a ten-year court battle and won a decisive victory in the U.S. Court of Appeals (and won a similar decisive victory in the EU Court of Justice). When Georgia sued him for posting their laws, he brought the fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court which declared that the law belongs to the people.

Carl’s courageous spirit and selfless dedication to the people is exemplary of our founders, staff, and every one of our volunteers who operate Watch Duty. His work and his speech “10 Rules for Radicals'' (public.resource.org/rules/10rules.pdf) has become our instruction manual for how to fight for and create lasting change in a world that is increasingly driven by scarcity and profit.

Carl is also proud to be a long-time resident of Sonoma County, where Watch Duty was founded.

Good afternoon, Healdsburg! A local contractor started a repainting project at the gazebo in the Plaza today. Work started with power washing this morning and painting will continue through Friday, March 22nd. The gazebo will be closed and tented for the duration of the project. Please do not enter the gazebo while work is in progress. This project is one of several projects that are funded through a Fiscal Year 2023-2024 deferred maintenance budget allocation and reflect several years of community engagement and outreach. We look forward to seeing a refreshed gazebo when the painting is completed!

El trabajo comenzó con el lavado a presión esta mañana y continuarán con la pintura hasta el viernes 22 de marzo. El kiosco permanecerá cerrado y cubierto mientras dure el proyecto. Por favor, no entre en el kiosco mientras se realizan el trabajo. Este proyecto es uno de varios proyectos que se financian a través de una asignación presupuestaria de mantenimiento diferido del Año Fiscal 2023-2024 y reflejan varios años de compromiso y acercamiento con la comunidad. Esperamos ver un kiosco renovado cuando se termine de pintar.
