American Oversight is a nonprofit, nonpartisan watchdog focused on government transparency. It seeks to strengthen accountability by enforcing the public's right to access government records and uses legally compelled disclosures when agencies do not comply with transparency requirements. Based in Washington, DC, the organization operates within the public policy field, pursuing accountability across federal and state governments. As a small to mid-sized nonprofit, it serves the public and other stakeholders seeking information about government actions. In May 2026, American Oversight filed suit against the White House to challenge a Department of Justice memorandum asserting that the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional and unenforceable.
