This was just part of the assistance that allowed me to get through the whistleblowing ordeal in one piece. As I prepared to speak out against political and corporate Goliaths, I was a David now backed by committed lawyers and journalists, a legal defense fund, and a huge amount of moral support. So often, whistleblowers are framed as lone activists standing up to giants for what’s right. But in my case, I was never alone, and I got incredibly lucky on several occasions. Without this help, I never would have been able to come forward.
