Holding power accountable one whistleblower at a time.
We work toward a more accountable world by empowering people to speak out about wrongdoing; protecting those who speak out; supporting investigations of wrongdoing; and helping to change policy and improve whistleblower protections.

How The Signals Network supports whistleblowers
Our Global Mission
The Signals Network supports whistleblowers to hold powerful interests to account all over the world. The following are examples of countries where we have worked or currently work with journalists and whistleblowers.
“When I came sources had to forward with the mass surveillance revelations in 2013, try and patch together this kind of reporting infrastructure journalist by journalist, in total secrecy, and with crude tools. Protecting the public shouldn’t be that hard. The Signals Network is sending a message to whistleblowers that this time, the newsroom is ready. Exposing wrongdoing has never been easier.”
Edward Snowden, Whistleblower and President of the Board of the Freedom of the Press Foundation
“Deciding what to tell and to who can be paralyzing, and whistleblowers should not have to navigate these decisions in a vacuum. You need someone you can trust, who can connect you to resources, and who can help navigate through the legal, ethical, and personal issues associated with whistleblowing. I wish The Signals Network existed back in 2014.”
Tyler Shultz, Theranos whistleblower
“Since I blew the whistle at UBS ten years ago, I have been exposed to many different levels of pressure. Being identified as a truth teller in our democracies means nothing else but retaliation, ostracization and loneliness. I wish I could have been provided support from an organization such as The Signals Network Foundation. Because exposing wrongdoings is in each citizens interest.”
Stéphanie Gibaud, UBS leak Whistleblower
“The Signals Network offers to selected whistleblowers six levels of protection: legal support, confidentiality, psychological support, media relations management, advocacy, and temporary retreat. I wish I could have benefitted from such support.”
Antoine Deltour, The Luxleaks whistleblower
“Telling the truth can not be a crime in a democratic society. The Signals Network Foundation, by providing support to whistleblowers and tied partnership with the medias will encourage it. That is what we need.”
John Kiriakou, Ex-CIA Analyst / The waterboarding whistleblower
“The journey I’m going through is surely less difficult because of the impressive work of the Signals Network. The Signals Foundation has been by my side throughout this last year, never giving up on me, namely compensating my lawyers who work tirelessly to defend my rights.”
Rui Pinto, Whistleblower, Football Leaks and Luanda Leaks
“[Others] shouldn’t feel alone if they do the right thing. There’s always nice people out there helping them if they’re in a situation like mine, and I really appreciate how The Signals Network has helped me.”
Anar Sabit, Chinese authorities whistleblower
“Facebook has expanded faster than they can keep their platform safe. We need change. Thank you to the whistleblowers who took great risk & @TheSignalsNetw for supporting them. I urge the passage of strong whistleblower protections, so people can continue speaking out.”
