Seems prima facie bad that orgs in the Effective Ventures umbrella ask employees, contractors and volunteers to sign NDAs without reassurance of whistleblower protections. Even if the content of the NDA is mundane, it will have a chilling effect.
In the meantime, I hereby offer to publish whistleblowers’ statements if they need to be protected by anonymity. I will ask the source for evidence of who employs them (if relevant).

Thanks! I’d like to have reasonable whistleblower protections at my org, do you have any templates that you think are good?
Not yet!

Should I refuse to sign an NDA if I am hired by such an organisation in the future and don’t have the assurance of whistleblower protections?
