| I’m so grateful to be recognized, again, by the National Whistleblower Center! I remain committed to advocating for whistleblowers and spreading public awareness about the adversity we face. On behalf of Motion to Quash LLC, I would like to extend a warm invitation to you for this year’s 10th Anniversary National Whistleblower Day event July 27th on Capitol Hill.  The success of our past NWD events was dependent upon the support of people like you. We hope you will join us again this year for our celebration, which will include a live panel of whistleblowers, a speech from whistleblower supporter Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), and a discussion from National Whistleblower Center founder Stephen Kohn. This live, in-person event on July 27th will honor the contributions of whistleblowers to our nation, and the storied history of whistleblowing in the U.S. Hope to see you there! We can’t celebrate without you! Seats to this event are limited, so please R.S.V.P. HERE |

Why We Celebrate National Whistleblower Day
| The history of National Whistleblower Day dates back to the founding days of our nation. On July 30th 1778, The U.S. Continental Congress passed America’s first whistleblower law during the height of the American Revolution. To honor this history and the foundational nature of of whistleblowing in America, we celebrate National Whistleblower Day every year on July 30th. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) signed the first National Whistleblower Day 10 years ago.Since then, NWC has supported an incredible group of whistleblowers and their bi-partisan allies in Congress to continue the NWD tradition. In recognition of the sacrifices of whistleblowers, and in honor of the crucial contributions that whistleblowers have made to our democracy, Motion to Quash LLC stands with NWC wholeheartedly alongside the whistleblowers. We’re calling on both chambers of Congress and President Biden to permanently designate July 30 as National Whistleblower Day in the U.S. This is the single most important action the Federal Government can take to acknowledge the importance of whistleblowing and combating the culture of retaliation against whistleblowers.
