Our Purpose
Phoenix Advocacy Network (PAN) is an independent newspaper and media channel created to amplify the voices of retaliation survivors, whistleblowers, and truth-tellers who have been silenced by mainstream outlets.
When traditional platforms turn a blind eye, we rise.
Here you’ll find:
-
The Phoenix Report – short news briefs on retaliation and workplace injustice.
-
Survivor Interviews – real stories from people fighting back.
-
Legal/Educational Insights – plain-language explainers on ADA, ERISA, whistleblower protections, and more.
-
Creative Satire – because sometimes the only way to survive is to laugh while telling the truth.
Our Mission
Giving Power to the Silenced
The Phoenix Advocacy Network exists to shine a light on stories of retaliation and injustice that mainstream media often ignores. We are a survivor-driven, independent newspaper and media channel dedicated to truth, accountability, and resilience.
We believe:

• Information is power.
