Over the last two years, thousands of federal employees have been summarily dismissed. Some were forced out for political reasons, others as part of sweeping reductions that have gutted agencies responsible for public health, environmental protection, scientific research, foreign aid and national security. Private-sector workers who speak up about harm to the public face a parallel threat from Non-Disclosure Agreements, which the administration would like to impose as a new condition of federal employment. Some chose to speak when silence would have been safer. Their accounts, and the legal and personal costs they have borne, illuminate what is being lost inside government and industry alike, and what it takes to go on the record about it. This session features whistleblowers and former employees, from federal agencies and the private sector, and the journalists and filmmakers who tell their stories. It is not a partisan panel: it is a reckoning with what accountability looks like from the inside, and what happens to those who exercise it.
