BHCW allows for confidential articles from non-administrators of local public entities whose careers would be affected because of their efforts in informing the public. BHCW also allows contributions from members of non-profits whose positions as volunteers would be in jeopardy as a result of sharing their positions. In the case of the latter, the non-profit the writer is associated with will be identified. We have confirmed the source of this article, know their location and full name and have had face to face contact with the individual.
