This Senate resolution designates July 30, 2025, as "National Whistleblower Appreciation Day" to honor individuals who report government waste, fraud, and abuse. The resolution traces whistleblower protections back to 1778, when the Continental Congress unanimously passed the first U.S. whistleblower law encouraging people to report misconduct by government officials. The measure affects federal employees, contractors, and the general public by promoting awareness of legal protections for those who report wrongdoing in good faith. The resolution encourages federal agencies to use this day to educate their workforce about whistleblower rights and acknowledge how whistleblowers save taxpayers billions of dollars annually. No funding is required since this is a symbolic resolution that simply designates a day of recognition.
