Write blog post - CLEAN event on Jan 22

[lillihart]

• Read about CLEAN and California Police Records Access Project + the database released in August 2025
• Paste link to blog draft as a comment on this issue and alert with Lilli and Kirstie (for their review and edit requests)
  • Add a note about a recording of the event coming soon and make a plan to watch for it/update the blog post
• After the first review, send to CLEAN project team (Ayyub, Galen, Tarak, Cc Aditya)
• After final edits are complete, write a social media post intro for LinkedIn and Bluesky (instructions)
• Add draft to the website (get instructions from Lilli, if needed) but do not publish

Basic blog style

• Consider the purpose of the event and the impact we want it to have - incorporate into blog
• Include a few section headlines - example here
• Add a quote from th speaker or a testimonial from a guest/attendee if possible
• Welcoming, warm, and informative tone
• Close with a "To stay in touch..." paragraph - example here
• Add links to people, orgs, and tools mentioned in the blog
• Add a few photos or other related graphics
  • Crop and adjust the lighting as needed
  • Add Photo Descriptions and Alt Text to the draft
