FBI & DOJ Abuses in Colorado and California Cases Indicate Corruption is Common but Unreported Problem, Says Advocacy Group

"We all have lived too many years in a culture broken by brutally powerful men," said Oprah Winfrey at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards. "For too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dare to speak the truth to the power of those men. But their time is up. Their time is up," exclaimed Oprah.

Advocacy organization A Just Cause says they will be working hard in the coming months to establish a grass roots organization across Colorado that will be a force for political change against apathetic U.S. Representatives and Senators who have shown little to no concern for Colorado constituents who were victims of government abuse in the federal justice system. "You would think when Congressman Doug Lamborn, Senators Corey Gardner and Michael Bennet received a dossier (http://bit.ly/2wBaCyJ) that contained irrefutable evidence that the Colorado U.S. Attorney's Office and federal Judge Christine Arguello colluded together to abuse a Colorado Springs church and its parishioners, as well as engaged in egregious misconduct that resulted in the wrongful-imprisonment six Colorado technology executives (five black, one white), they would have been outraged and demanded answers from the DOJ and the courts," says Lamont Banks, Executive Director of A Just Cause. "But that didn't happen, presumably because these federal justice officials from Colorado are their friends or because the constituents who were abused are minorities and not affluent or important enough to merit their attention," adds Banks.

In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein, Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly scandals, many high-profile women are now speaking out about sexual harassment, abuse and the overall marginalization of women by men in power. Gender abuse has many faces and is not relegated to sexual harassment in the entertainment industry but runs rampant throughout corporate America and government. Case and point: the plight of African-American corporate executive Tanique Wright of Colorado Springs, Colorado who is the Vice President of Human Resources for Professional Bull Riders, a WME Entertainment company.

The Harvey Weinstein scandal shows how men of power and corporations can leverage their power to abuse and take advantage of women in the entertainment industry. Whether it's the allegedly sexual predatory behavior of Mr. Weinstein or the sexism and racism experienced by Ms. Tanique Wright, Vice President of Human Resources for Professional Bull Riders (PBR), a WME Entertainment company. As an African-American female executive, Wright is one of the lowest paid VP's on the leadership team, was told by management she is not allowed to attend weekly leadership meetings and has been denied equal treatment and pay consistent with white male executives. She filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and they found merit in Wright's claims and issued her a right to sue WME and PBR. Wright spoke to A Just Cause about the alleged culture of abuse at WME Entertainment.
