Get Support

At Psst, we firmly believe that people speaking out against a powerful corporation or person should never go at it alone. We’ve got a lot of experience helping people from all kinds of backgrounds speak out about all kinds of things–either publicly or behind the scenes. 

Here's some information about how we can help. Our help is pro bono.

Psst Legal

Legal advice and strategy

Are you unsure what to do with what you know? Want a gut-check to figure out if what you're seeing is wrongdoing or even illegal? Worried about how to stay safe while getting answers to questions about information you’ve come across?

Psst can help. Our in-house legal counsel will answer your questions and strategize about your options. (Anything you share with us is 100% privileged, meaning you won’t have to fear for your job. Your information and identity will never be disclosed unless you decide you want them to be.) But please follow the warnings on this page before you contact us.

Section heading: Psst Stories

Going public with your information

If you decide to share your information publicly, we work with trusted journalists to investigate, vet, and bring your story to light, while keeping you safe and protected. When your information fits together with information others have deposited to the Psst Safe, we can pair you up with others for strength in numbers. Collective storytelling reduces the risks involved with speaking out.

Psst also publishes vetted, first-person whistleblower accounts on our own website, amplifying them via our journalistic partners and on our social media channels.

We work with you to create a media strategy for your unique circumstances and to obtain maximum impact. Read some of the important stories everyday people like you have brought to the world.

Psst Psychosocial

Subhead: Mental health support

Psst can refer you to mental health experts with expertise in the issues faced by whistleblowers and others speaking out to provide needed support. We can also put you in touch with people who have been through the experience of speaking out, too. If you decide to go public, we can help you come up with a plan, and help you join forces with others. We make sure you have the support you need every step of the way.

Psst Impact

Information can change the world

Expandable description: Psst makes sure the public interest information we help people bring forward does not die with the 24-hour news cycle. After your information is brought to light, we support workers and insiders with outreach to government and companies. Sometimes that comes in the form of congressional hearings, policy changes, setting up meetings with key members of government, or expanding the reach of your story into book format or documentary and film productions.

The aim? Creating real societal and cultural change, and ongoing oversight that changes our world for the safer and better.
