WASHINGTON, D.C. | June 2, 2025 — National Whistleblower Center (NWC) is honored to announce that Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Wyden (D-OR) will be featured speakers at the National Whistleblower Day 2025 celebration held on Capitol Hill on July 30.
Senators Grassley and Wyden, the co-founders and co-chairs of the Senate Whistleblower Protection Caucus, are among the leading champions for whistleblowers in Congress. The senators have spearheaded a number of key whistleblower protection bills and each year since 2013 have introduced a Senate resolution designating July 30 as National Whistleblower Appreciation Day.
“Whistleblowers foster transparency and accountability across government and the private sector. You can’t fix something if you don’t know it’s broken. On National Whistleblower Day, we recognize the patriotic men and women who risk their reputation and often their job to shine a light on fraud, save taxpayer money and root out wrongdoing. I look forward to once again celebrating this important occasion,” Senator Grassley said.
“Whistleblowers have never been more important in preserving the foundation of our democracy than they are right now,” Senator Wyden said. “I am laser focused on protecting whistleblowers and ensuring those that seek to expose fraud and abuse in their government can do so without fear of retribution.”
“We are thrilled that Senators Grassley and Wyden, two longtime champions of whistleblowers, will once again be joining our National Whistleblower Day celebration,” said NWC Chairman Stephen M. Kohn. “Their presence at the event underscores the bipartisan support for whistleblowers in Congress and among the American public.”
The National Whistleblower Day 2025 celebration will be held on July 30 in the Kennedy Caucus Room on Capitol Hill. Additional speakers are to be announced. Prior National Whistleblower Days have been available to watch via C-SPAN.
