Our Mission
The International Association of Whistleblowers (IAW) promotes and encourages laws seeking to oppose hazardous, illegal and unsafe conditions as well as waste, fraud
and abuse of authority in government and government funded entities. We also advocate the fundamental premise that laws should effectively protect all valid truth tellers,
including those who speak up on public concerns, public safety, and to protect our nation's security, health, environment, civil rights, and the welfare and liberty of the
American public. We enlist citizens throughout the world to make our concerns known to the U.S .Congress, the media,and the public; and to generally assist our quest for
positive change.
Our Vision
Our vision is for all valid truth tellers from any walk of life to have legal protection through carefully promulgated laws.
Current Objectives
One of our objectives is to enlist a number of elected officials to shepherd through the law making process a strong set of comprehensive laws to protect all truth tellers
within the next two years. We endeavor to identify committed elected official(s) who WILL make it a priority to make these laws a reality and nurture these champions
throughout the process.
A second objective is to provide a forum for truth tellers (both embryonic and established) to network and exchange experiences.
Initial Projects
We aim to determine in the next two years:
1. A critical analysis of past successes and failures in whistleblower protection.
2. What is (are) the controlling factor(s).
3. What is needed to create actual change.
We are developing a list of support services for all truth tellers, such as
1. pro bono legal services
2. psychiatric/psychological counseling
3. documents to support claim(s)
4. reading resources, books, literature, experts in the field
5. other human assets
6. how-to check list
7. how/when to deal with the media
8. state and federal laws
9. mentoring
10. friendship and solidarity
