Whistle Blower Judge Karen Clopton Files Lawsuit
September 21, 2017
Wright Enterprises' Jackie Wright asks San Francisco Bay Area community leaders to stand with Judge Clopton as what she is encountering is indicative of a larger attack on communities of color across the nation.
Dear Community Leaders,
I will try to keep my points to a minimum, please bear with me as I am very passionate about the travesty of justice that began behind closed doors resulting in a seasoned jurist as Judge karen Clopton having to take the steps on the steps of the California State Building as she did on Tuesday, 9/19/17."Who Cares?" is significant to me personally as I recall one of the executives at the television station I was working at loudly interrupted my report about the survivors of Katrina in the Bay Area. It was stunning for such disdain to be publicly expressed in that way. Being the daughter of a U.S. Army Fallen Hero in Vietnam, needless to say and not to go into details, I proceed to tell him who cared in a professional "shut the mouths of lions" way. I should mention that the executive is the news director of that institution. The News Director shouted "Who Cares?" interrupting my "Public Relations Manager" report on the community. If the News Director shouts WHO CARES? about the community he is covering, what can we expect from those he leads and how do we get fair and balanced coverage to make democratic decisions. This was just a few years before these Donald Trump Days...so what's it like in newsrooms across the country now?
Judge Clopton has made some fearless rulings; she also recommended Uber pay a $7.3 million dollar fine: http://www.latimes.com/busines s/la-fi-uber-suspended-2015071 5-story.html
"The devil is in the details..." I ask that you not ignore what is happening with Judge Karen Clopton. Stay vigilant! "Stay Woke!" I commend local and national community icon, Frankie Gillette, former National President of the Women's Business and Professional Associations, for coming out to stand with Judge Clopton. It was a last minute notice, as I received the media alert two hours before the news conference. Thank you, Mrs. Gillette, your presence gave me strength in the moment especially coming off the weekend of working with the National Coalition of 100 Black Women San Francisco & Miracles of Faith Oakland's "Shoes for Survivors" campaign for hurricane victims.
