 Congressional forum on whistleblower protections (L. Lewis)
From far and near, whistleblowers came to the whistleblower conference in Washington, D.C., the week of May 12 through 18. They came to provide testimony, to meet with lawyers and activists, and to socialize. For many, the big draw was an opportunity to petition members of Congress for stronger whistleblower protection laws so that future whistleblowers might travel a path unmarked by the traps and tragedy typically sown by retaliating supervisors. For some still traveling that rocky road, the week was an opportunity to find mentors among the rare few who understand the challenges they face.

Sunday marked the debut of the Make It SAFE Coalition's new blog , a journal of Coalition activities and related news. Just in time, too, to report on the flurry of activity in Washington, D.C., where whistleblowers are currently meeting.

Most events are public and many have no registration fee. To learn more about the conferences, see the websites of the coordinating groups, Whistleblower Week in Washington and the International Assembly of Whistleblowers.
