A Look Back at our Work with Whistleblowers
Over the last few years, we’ve seen employees of conscience make a difference like never before.

And that’s just a start!
Our team at Government Accountability Project is proud to have worked with truth-tellers that have made a difference. As we reach the end of 2021, we’re taking a look at the progress we made last year.

Both of these data points demonstrate the impact of our organization. We serve those who come forward in issue areas including government; corporate and finance; energy, environment, and climate change; international; national security; and public health. Government Accountability Project is also the home of Climate Science & Policy Watch and the Food Integrity Campaign. We’re excited to continue growing and serving more whistleblowers in a variety of sectors.
