About Us
“Whistleblowers are our emergency brakes— without them we would not know what is happening inside companies who have huge power and know everything about each one of us.” – TSN Executive Director, Delphine Halgand-Mishra
Democracy only works when governmental and corporate powers are held accountable. That’s why we need journalists with trusted sources who give them access to that information.
Whistleblowing is a vital component of an informed society, and we need it now more than ever.
But it is also very hard on the whistleblower, who can lose their career or even risk their life by acting on their conscience and telling the truth. They can’t do it alone.
Who we are
The Signals Network is a nonprofit and non-partisan organization working toward a more accountable world by:
We strive to hold power accountable through whistleblowing that exposes truth to the public, ultimately strengthening democracy. Through our resources, we aim to help workers be well informed of their rights to hold power to account. We also protect and support a selected group of whistleblowers throughout their years-long journey.
Our organization also works one-on-with journalists working with sources and whistleblowers who need extra care and support. We also help educate them on how to most effectively and carefully work with these sources so to help increase long-term impact of their stories.
We also advocate for stronger whistleblower protections and laws, and support whistleblowers in their journey to advocate for changes to policies related to the information they have revealed to the public.
Here’s what we offer to whistleblowers daily
Legal Representation
We offer in-house legal representation and policy analysis of whistleblower claims to provide the best legal counsel possible. We can also help a whistleblower locate and obtain external legal representation.
Psychological Support
We provide access to individualized mental health support services, including psychological support and counseling.
Digital and Physical Safety
We work with online/offline security specialists to build an environment that enhances whistleblowers’ digital and physical privacy.
Media Relations Management and Advocacy Advice
We manage media relations for whistleblowers, helping to shape their messaging and share their stories with the public to effect policy change and institutional action based on the concerns they raise.
Financial Support
We alleviate the financial impact of whistleblowing by providing grants for legal, medical, and other expenses via our Whistleblower Protection Fund (WPF).
Transition Support
We assist whistleblowers to move to their post-whistleblowing stage and identify potential employment, fellowships and business opportunities.
