Part 4: Alabama Power Paid Media Hacks and Boosted Smear Attacks; Six-Figures to Discredited “Journalists”
“Where there is money, there are whores.” The bombshell financial records we, the CDLU, received anonymously, show that Alabama Power/Southern Company allegedly paid Alabama Political Reporter (APR) $120,000 and allegedly spent thousands of dollars boosting Facebook posts by the discredited publication. The payments, made in 2020, all appear to have been approved by Zeke Smith, … Continue reading Part 4: Alabama Power Paid Media Hacks and Boosted Smear Attacks; Six-Figures to Discredited “Journalists”

Her mother, Natalia’s liver donor, has tested positive for COVID-19, too. We are asking for your prayers for this little girl and her entire family. She and her mother will be in quarantine between 10 … Continue reading Update: Pray for Baby Natalia
Saving Baby Natalia
While Balch & Bingham apologists were busy terrorizing the wrong family and amputating their brains, we were busy helping the sick and dying. In June, Baby Natalia was in need of a liver transplant but her boosters had only raised less than $25,000 of an $80,000 goal when COVID-19 caused fundraising efforts to collapse. We, … Continue reading Saving Baby Natalia
Hunkering Down
Many of our readers are lawyers and as The New York Times points out, lawyers are at the greatest risk, like cashiers, of contracting the Coronavirus. We, ourselves, will be hunkering down in self-imposed quarantine with our families. And we hope that you, our dear reader, do, too. As long time healthcare advocates, we, the … Continue reading Hunkering Down
19 Years of Advocacy
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, … Continue reading 19 Years of Advocacy

Our original contact with Blanca’s … Continue reading Rest in Peace Blanca Blancas Luna
Unplugging and Helping the Sick and Dying
This week our leadership is in Chicago helping the sick and dying. Blanca Blancas Luna (pictured) is to undergo a transplant procedure next month after heart surgery tomorrow. Why is there a criminal trial, now, today, this very moment in Birmingham? Because of Balch & Bingham’s corporate culture. A corporate culture that appears to fight to … Continue reading Unplugging and Helping the Sick and Dying
Thank You to Our Readers
We would like nothing more than to unplug this site if and only if Balch & Bingham would settle the Burt Newsome Conspiracy case and apologize to the North Birmingham African-American community. Our educational advocacy project simply started with the Newsome conspiracy case and has mushroomed into numerous unsettling matters concerning the once prestigious, silk-stocking … Continue reading Thank You to Our Readers
Blanca Blancas versus the Brookies

Another Chapter…
What will it take for Balch & Bingham to come to their senses? A management change? More indictments? More partners fleeing? We, the CDLU, have engaged in fights for goodness and justice for almost 17 years. In addition, we have provided or secured over $10 million in medical services for the sick and the dying. … Continue reading Another Chapter…
