For over 45 years Government Accountability Project has represented brave employees of conscience who are compelled to shed light on fraud, waste, and abuse they witness in the workplace. Our clients include federal employees and contractors who have sounded the alarm about harm to immigrant adults and children in immigration detention; saved billions of dollars for U.S. taxpayers by reporting fraud; prevented nuclear disasters and mitigated environmental harm; protected consumers from unsafe food and drugs; and held agency officials accountable who have abused the power of their offices to serve political rather than public interests in violation of their oaths of office. Whistleblowers too often fill gaps in oversight and their warnings have prevented serious harm and even death, and they need expert support more than ever to minimize the risk of speaking up while maximizing the effectiveness of doing so.

We need additional capacity to help draft disclosures--essentially "complaints" but less formal than pleadings--to the appropriate administrative agencies and congressional committees with jurisdiction to receive whistleblower disclosures. This involves reviewing evidence and drafting a narrative/timeline applying the elements of a whistleblower retaliation claim.

We seek support analyzing evidence and drafting complaints to the Office of Special Counsel, Offices of Inspectors General, and Congress detailing our clients' whistleblower disclosures about wrongdoing and abuses across issue areas including immigration detention, food safety, environmental protection, and democracy protection, and unlawful retaliation the whistleblowers may have experienced because of raising concerns.
