Daniel Ellsberg:

“Demands and deserves the widest reading!”

Whistleblowing for Change reveals dangerous processes in our contemporary society that call desperately for whistleblowing. The gripping testimony in this book from those who did have the courage to respond to that need has the power to inspire others to join them in vital truth-telling.”

Daniel Ellsberg (1931–2023)
American Political Activist, former U.S.military analyst, Pentagon Papers Whistleblower

Projects & More



Since 2014 Disruption Network Lab has worked to expose systems of power and injustice. Like many nonprofit organizations that have been working on culture and social justice for many years, we cannot ignore the current humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, in Ukraine, and in other warzones in the world. We demand a collective effort to bring an end to the hostilities and we call for an immediate ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages, and the cessation of attacks on health care and other vital infrastructure. The extreme suffering of innocent people, who pay the highest price of any war, demands that we respond immediately and concretely with humanity and compassion and contribute to uncover the wrongdoing of the powerful.
