Citigroup whistleblower Richard Bowen noticed the bank’s portfolios included increased defective and fraudulent mortgages. Despite Bowen’s case being the omen of the 2008 mortgage crisis, he was ignored and retaliated against. Thank Bowen by commenting below to #LeaveARose! 🌹

Despite the retaliation she faced, whistleblower Dawn Wooten couldn't keep quiet about what she saw. Because she came forward, detainees being abused within ICE detention sought justice for what they went through. #DareToLeaveARose in the comments to celebrate her heroism!

Thanks to whistleblowers like immigration experts Drs. Allen and McPherson, we learned the truth about the poor conditions inside of ICE detention so we could hold them accountable. Help us honor whistleblowers like them. #DropARose in the comments if you support whistleblowers.
