The people and organizations on these pages include civil servants, organizations and other individuals/entities who stood up for the laws that protect our citizens, our data, our society and justice. Some people resigned rather than compromise their integrity or violate federal statute. Some retired or were fired instead. Others have been targeted by the regime and/or are standing firm against tyranny. In every instance, each chose the path that illustrates the best of our nation despite the difficulties or risks to themselves, rather than the easy route. In some cases, it was to stand and fight (or be fired); in others, it meant resigning or retiring. Their examples sustain us and remind us to do the next right thing.
