A practical checklist for truth-tellers

Document everything

Preserve records, emails, and evidence securely — ideally on a personal device, not a work computer.

Consult an attorney first

A whistleblower attorney can identify which laws protect you and help you act in a way that maximizes those protections. Integrity Alliance will coordinate legal counsel for you.

Secure your communications

Use Signal for calls and messages. Use Tor Browser for any online research or submissions. Avoid work devices and networks.
