Whistleblowers are urging President Trump to sign an executive order recognizing National Whistleblower Day.

Whistleblowers across the country are calling on President Trump to sign an Executive Order officially recognizing National Whistleblower Day on July 30. This order would direct all federal agencies to observe the day, educate their employees on whistleblower rights, and honor the brave individuals who have spoken up in defense of truth and accountability.

This grassroots campaign is led by whistleblowers, for whistleblowers, with leadership from renowned truth-tellers like Jane Turner, Bunny Greenhouse, Fred Whitehurst, Aaron Westrick, and Sherron Watkins.

• Honor our History – Whistleblowing is embedded in America’s foundation. The first U.S. whistleblower law was passed in 1778, during the Revolutionary War. This campaign was launched on March 2, 2023, the 160th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln’s signing of the False Claims Act —one of our most powerful whistleblower laws.
• Change the Culture – Too often, whistleblowers face retaliation and isolation. This Executive Order would require every federal agency to educate employees on their whistleblower rights and to formally recognize past whistleblowers who have made a difference.
• Demand Justice and Respect – Whistleblowers have risked everything—their jobs, reputations, and safety—to expose corruption and protect the public. Their efforts have saved lives and returned billions to taxpayers. It’s time they received the recognition they deserve
