From an interview with Tom Devine conducted by Whistleblower Insider in February 2014:
Whistleblower Insider: What is the Government Accountability Project?
Tom Devine: We’re a non-profit, non-partisan, public interest law firm, legally a 501 (c)(3) organization. Our mission is helping whistleblowers…. The people we help at GAP are individuals using free speech rights to challenge abuses of power that betray the public trust. That’s the way we’ve defined the concept. Overwhelmingly, these are folks who are witnessing abuses of power in their places of employment.
