(for Washington Whistleblower Week info)

The No FEAR Institute, in association with the Make it Safe Coalition,  will host a fact-finding tribunal on Capital Hill on May 15th to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the passage of the No FEAR Act of 2002 from 9:00am to 12pm.  The Tribunal is named in honor of the late Patricia Lawson, an EPA employee who courageously fought against abuse and retaliation in the federal government.  It is hoped that the week-long activities will serve to educate the public about discrimination and retaliation in the federal government and to garner support for the passage of No FEAR II.   This will be a momentous and historic occasion. 

The Coalition is in the process of collecting written statements either to be presented in person during the Tribunal or to become apart of the official record on this matter.  Please pass this e-mail on to friends, family and colleagues who may be interested in testifying at the Tribunal or volunteering at the conference.  Guidelines for applying to speak at the Tribunal can be found on the website below.  A committee composed of members from the No FEAR Coalition and the Keep it Safe Coalition will select the witnesses.
