Ellsberg Whistleblower Award
The International Ellsberg Whistleblower Award (EWA) honours the integrity and courage of whistleblowers and their allies for disclosing information that significantly enhances free public or scientific debate to bolster democracy and the public’s right to know.
Before his death, Daniel encouraged his friends to continue his quest for peace and for the democratic and political empowerment of civil society. With his approval, this award was established by the four founding organizations in his memory and in the spirit of his legacy. The prize is intended to show the world that whistleblowers can make a difference. That they can make an important contribution to peace and democracy and that whistleblowers are often indispensable to hold power to account.
