Current & Former Federal OIG Employees - Political Interference

Do you work in or have recently left the office of an inspector general? We’re ProPublica journalists who, like you, want to hold the government accountable. Help us report — we take your confidentiality seriously. (Thank you to the mod team for letting us post our callout!) Dear current and former OIG employees, We’re ProPublica reporters Sharon Lerner and Raquel Rutledge. Over the past weeks, we’ve been talking to dozens of you about concerns that the federal government’s new watchdogs —political loyalists —may be unable to independently carry out their critical oversight duties. We recognize the longstanding reluctance of inspectors general and their staffs to speak with the media. But this is an extraordinary moment. And we believe we share a common purpose with you: to hold our government accountable by identifying any waste, fraud or abuse — and to be thorough, fair and accurate. If you work in or have recently left the office of a federal inspector general, we want to hear about your experience: Have important projects been halted? Have staff been asked to do work that wouldn’t have typically been done by an inspector general’s office in the past? What is working well, or better than it has previously? Are you facing obstacles that impact your ability to do your work? What getting in touch means: We take your confidentiality seriously. If you decide to reach out, we will take care to use encrypted, secure channels. If you’d like to remain anonymous, one thing you can do is request to speak on background, which means to have a conversation to help inform reporting, rather than to quote from. Both of us have extensive experience covering sensitive topics and government agencies. We are happy to answer questions you may have about ourselves and our project. Please reach out to us on Signal or email, and share this letter with anyone who should see it.Thanks for reading. Signed, Sharon Lerner Signal: sharLerner.76 Email: [email redacted] Raquel Rutledge Signal: 202-886-9630 Email: [email redacted]

California Domestic Violence & Housing Providers - Funding Cuts Impact

✅ Work in the domestic violence or housing space? ✅ Provide services to survivors in California? ➡️ I want to hear from you! 🙏🏼 Please fill out our survey: https://lnkd.in/gwmkdjtn The 19th is reporting on housing challenges for domestic violence survivors in California. We know many people stay in abusive relationships due to housing insecurity, and many women become homeless due to fleeing violence. We also know critical programs are at risk of being defunded. We need your help to understand what’s at stake with federal budget cuts, funding priorities and the state budget. Who we want to hear from: Organizations that receive public funding to help people access housing – including emergency, temporary, transitional and permanent housing. If you work in domestic violence services and help survivors seek out housing, we would love to hear from you too. How we will use this information: Survey responses will serve two purposes: To inform our reporting and to produce resources to help survivors navigate housing needs. Some questions will be shared with California Partnership to End Domestic Violence, but there is an option to keep your responses private to The 19th. About us: The 19th is an independent, nonprofit newsroom reporting at the intersection of gender, politics, policy and power. This project is supported by the USC Center for Health Journalism Domestic Violence Impact Reporting Fund. I am a reporter based in Los Angeles who has been covering funding challenges for domestic violence services extensively and am leading this effort. Deadline: April 28, 2026 You can always reach me over email [email redacted] or securely on Signal (username: jsmn.01) if preferred. Your privacy and security is important to us. All of the questions are optional, and are welcome to share as much or as little as you are comfortable with. We will contact you directly if we wish to use any of your information in a story. Read more about the project and how we will use this information on the survey form itself. Please share! THANK YOU! https://lnkd.in/gwmkdjtn
