Not everyone in this record holds power over the cameras. Residents across the region document them, organize around them, file the records requests, and speak at the meetings; their work appears throughout this site, attributed by role and timestamp to the public record it lives in. Two people are named here because their published, bylined work is itself part of the record this site cites:
| Where | What they did | |
|---|---|---|
| Patrick Conant | Asheville | Sunshine Labs; the unanswered cost question; the records that became The RTIC Policy |
| Benn Jordan | national (visited Asheville May 2026) | Flock investigations confirmed by national press |
Also: The People Who Showed Up (what Asheville residents said at council, verbatim, from the city’s own video) and Get Involved (the organizations).
