ABOUT
Whistleblowers of America (WoA) is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to strengthening protections for individuals who report misconduct, fraud, waste, and abuse. Our mission is to educate the public and policymakers, support whistleblowers in understanding their rights, and promote fair and effective legislation that upholds accountability.
WoA works to identify gaps in existing whistleblower laws and advocate for reforms that close those gaps. We provide clear, accessible information on current statutes and pending bills, while engaging directly with lawmakers to ensure protections keep pace with the challenges facing today’s workforce.
Through education, research, and legislative advocacy, WoA helps create an environment where truth-telling is valued, retaliation is not tolerated, and institutions are strengthened through transparency and accountability.
