Education & Outreach

Keeping consumers more informed is a critical part of improving the food system. The truth is a powerful tool if the public has access to it. FIC’s education and outreach efforts include providing informational resources and participating in various events to build our community of truth-tellers and food integrity advocates.

Check out the real-life stories from some of our favorite whistleblowers, categorized by our issue areas such as Animal Welfare, Food Safety, Transparency, and Worker Rights. Please note, this list represents those FIC clients who have expressed a willingness to speak publicly. FIC represents many more whistleblowers who (often for legal reasons) are not able to share their experiences publicly.

Here you’ll find a mix of guides, brochures, and infographics that can be downloaded as free resources.

• Whistleblower Guides
• Brochures
• Infographics

FIC also produces campaign videos and other multimedia to help inform the public about whistleblower concerns. Example multimedia include:

• Ag Gag Undercover Series
• Poultry Whistleblower Talks Food Safety
  
• Whistleblower Presentation on Mercury & Metabolism
• Rudy Howell: Speaking Truth to Big Chicken

In our Public Resources tool, you can find various documents organized by campaign and issue area. Available resources for download include:

• Whistleblower Affidavits (public statements truth-tellers have submitted to FIC, telling their story in his or her own words)
• Legal Documents (Amicus Briefs, Complaints, etc.)
• Whitepapers
• Whistleblower Tips
• Fact Sheets
• Public Formal Comments

FIC whistleblowers and team members routinely speak at public meetings and give presentations at colleges and universities across the nation. These face-to-face contacts facilitate important dialogues around food issues.
