This resolution designates July 30, 2026, as "National Whistleblower Appreciation Day" to honor individuals who report waste, fraud, and abuse. It highlights the historical precedent set by the Continental Congress in 1778, which unanimously supported whistleblowers and passed legislation encouraging citizens to report misconduct. Whistleblowers often risk their careers and reputations, yet their actions save taxpayers billions of dollars annually and uphold public interest by ensuring ethical and safe practices. The resolution further mandates that the Federal Government implement the intent of the Founding Fathers by encouraging each executive agency to recognize this day. Agencies are tasked with informing employees, contractors, and the public about the legal right to "blow the whistle" on misconduct, fraud, or other crimes. This recognition also involves acknowledging the vital contributions whistleblowers make in combating violations of laws and regulations across the United States.
