Thank You card delivery to climate whistleblower Joel Clement
Earlier this year, Joel Clement, the top climate policy official at the Department of the Interior, went public with a whistleblower complaint after he was demoted to an accounting office. His story gained national media attention.
Joel was one of dozens of employees at Interior who were given just two weeks notice earlier this year that they would be re-assigned — an unprecedented shakeup that was clearly politically motivated. Since then, Joel has resigned from his position. He tweeted:
We need more brave voices like Joel’s who are able to speak truth to power. That’s why it is so important that we continue to support whistleblowers and ensure that they aren’t silenced!
