The National Whistleblower Center commemorated National Whistleblower Day on Capitol Hill. Speakers included former employees of Boeing, ExxonMobil, a local Georgia police department, and other organizations who blew the whistle on their former employers for various wrongdoing such as faulty manufacturing, fraud, and sexual misconduct. Senators and whistleblower advocates Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) also spoke, and tobacco company whistleblower Jeffrey Wigand received a lifetime achievement award. National Whistleblower Day is celebrated every July 30, when the Continental Congress passed legislation in 1778 to protect whistleblowers.
