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.

As long time healthcare advocates, we, the … Continue reading Hunkering Down →

Today marks the 19th anniversary of the founding of our public charity, the CDLU. The late Hortensia Magaña and K.B.

Our original contact with Blanca’s … Continue reading Rest in Peace Blanca Blancas Luna →

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.

A corporate culture that appears to fight to … Continue reading Unplugging and Helping the Sick and Dying →

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.

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… →
