Why We Exist

In healthy government structure, people should be able to speak up, ask questions, and criticize their leaders without fear of retaliation. Unfortunately, in Wakulla County, the reality is different. Too often, citizens who raise concerns about local government face personal attacks, public shaming, or even professional repercussions. That climate of intimidation doesn’t silence corruption — it silences accountability.

That’s why anonymity matters.
Anonymity isn’t about hiding the truth or evading responsibility. It’s about creating a independent refuge where citizens can exercise their fundamental right to free speech without having to gamble their livelihood, reputation, or safety. Throughout history, anonymous voices have been essential to reform. From the authors of the Federalist Papers to whistleblowers exposing modern-day abuses, anonymity has been a shield that allows truth to surface when power seeks to suppress it.

In Wakulla, when officials come after critics instead of addressing criticism, it proves exactly why anonymous watchdog platforms are necessary. They aren’t a sign of weakness — they are a sign that people still care enough to demand better, even when the risks are high.

An open, accountable government should welcome questions, not punish them. Until we get there, anonymity will remain one of the few tools ordinary citizens have to keep powerful people honest. And that, in itself, is a form of courage.
