This Senate resolution designates July 30, 2025 as "National Whistleblower Appreciation Day." It recalls historical support for whistleblowers, including a 1778 Congressional resolution. The text asks each executive agency to recognize the day by informing employees, contractors, and the public about the right to report misconduct, and by acknowledging whistleblowers’ contributions to stopping waste, fraud, and abuse.
If you work for or contract with an executive agency, your agency may inform you about the right to make honest, good faith reports of misconduct to the proper authority. Agencies are asked to tell the public about lawful disclosures and to recognize whistleblowers who report wrongdoing.
