Today marks the 19th anniversary of the founding of our public charity, the CDLU. The late Hortensia Magaña and K.B. Forbes founded the organization in 2001 after numerous other public charities refused, out of fear, to tackle the powerful hospital sector for price-gouging uninsured minorities.

Without fear, the CDLU has vigorously fought for inherent goodness, fairness, and justice. Our organization has spurred three U.S. Congressional investigations, and countless federal, state, local, and Civil Rights probes.

Even after the most heated and fierce fights, as a gesture of goodwill, we have built solid relationships with our former opponents. We are a bridge between the community and the entities that can bring change.

In closing, we hope that Alabama Power can bring change to an era of arrogance, selfishness, and egotism, and bring closure to the miscarriage of justice known as the Newsome Conspiracy Case.
