"The Unforgivable Truth" to be Screened at the 2019 Whistleblower Summit August 1st

The Elder Abuse Reform Now Project (The EARN Project)' documentary, The Unforgivable Truth, will be screened at the Library of Congress, James Madison Building, Thursday, August 1 from noon to 1:30 pm, in connection with The Whistleblower Film Festival which accompanies the annual Whistleblower Summit in Washington, DC..

The Unforgivable Truth / United States (Filmmaker: Sharon de Lobo) - The Unforgivable Truth' is a quality film initially showcasing military servicemen having sacrificed life and limb to secure the rights and protections of surviving widows, children and others, but then quickly reveals that those survivors have become a victimized population of elderly and offspring suffering at the hands of guardianship and sophisticated financial exploitation schemes. The emotional accounts of isolated victims, their descendants and certain associates appear sincere and truthful. The accounts of the so-called trusted caregiver are no less than bewildering. Comprehensive coverage of the drawn out exploitation of the Kibbee family dynasty by the daughter and a team of professionals examining the facts surrounding the efforts of First Interstate Bank to frustrate Mercedes Kibbee's expressed wishes that her ranch and other assets be used for underprivileged children and that her daughter Sharon be present and involved in meetings discussing the formation of a foundation to carry out those wishes is compelling and infuriating.

"The Whistleblower Summit is unique because it combines legislative advocacy, public policy discussions with community and social events. During the conference we have panel discussions, press conferences, award presentations, receptions, luncheons, dinner, movie night, book signings, etc." - Marcel Reid, Whistleblower Summit Festival Director.

The Whistleblower Summit recognizes that cinema is a powerful medium for highlighting civil and human rights violations across the globe. It seeks to shine a light on stories of courage and perseverance in the face of injustice, and to encourage individuals to stand together to achieve human rights for all.

We are proud to stand and applaud our fellow elder abuse/guardianship advocates at The EARN Project and congratulate them for this special recognition and honor!

Highlights of the Upcoming Annual WhistleBlower Summit July 29 through August 1, 2019

Monday, July 29;  3:00 - 3:50:  IN DEFENSE OF THE FAMILY
Hart Senate Office Building
120 Constitution Ave, NE
Room SH-902
Washington, DC  20002

Panel participants:
Marti Oakley, Host, TS Radio Network
Marcia Southwick, Boomers Against Elder Abuse
Dr. Zena Crenshaw-Logal, Executive Director, NJCDLP

Description: 
The panel will focus on the disparities in the judicial system, specifically the probate tribunals, which can declare an elderly individual civilly dead in order to exploit the estate.  Once captured in the system, the elderly are most times isolated, medicated and then conveniently die just as their estates are tapped out.  Cremation is the standard for disposing of the body (evidence) before the family can investigate the actual cause of death.    With little to no attention paid to civil or human rights, thousands of elderly individuals are targeted by professional predators each year.

Constance Jones, Founder of CRJ Healthcare Credentials and Consulting
Ajshay Jones, Principal, Harpridge, Inc.

Description:
In the real world, how does whistle-blowing happen in medicine?  This is the subject this panel will discuss.  The forms it takes, the ethical issues arising from it, the protections - or lack of them - for whistle-blowers in private employment - hospitals, for example are extremely limited or non-existent in most states.  Furthermore, most of medical malpractice, professional and institutional negligence are often shrouded in secrecy, protected by law from disclosure. ....

Wednesday, July 31: DYING FOR DIALYSIS?
The Steward E. Mott House
122 Maryland Ave., NE
Washington, DC  20002

Panel Participants:
Arlene Mullin, Dialysis Advocate
Gregory Coleman, Dialysis Patient/Whistle-blower
Dr. David Moskowitz, Founder, GenaMed., Inc.
Eduard Tayruinykov, MD.

Description:
Dialysis patients don't have the luxury of just coping with the illness itself, because of the way that the Dialysis industry is structured and how it operated in conjunction with the federal government.    Dialysis advocates allege there is no oversight and no control.  Dialysis is the only fully funded medical program in the US, and results in thousands of potential unnecessary deaths each year as patients are subjected to arguably substandard treatment....

“The EEOC’s Office of Federal Operations’ failure to apply fairly Federal EEO complaint guidelines undermines the Notification and Federal Employees Anti-Discrimination and Retaliation Act and spurs a health crisis within the Federal workforce.”

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) June 27, 2019

Advocacy groups and Whistleblowers will gather at the upcoming 2019 Annual Whistleblower Summit and Film Festival. The gathering, which will take place in Washington, DC during July 29th-August 1st, 2019, provides a meaningful “mutual support network” for whistleblowers and advocates across the country.

The theme of this year’s Summit is True North—Persevering in the Pursuit of Justice. It will feature a variety of events, film screenings, and panel discussions to empower “truth-tellers” who create a better world for all people to thrive.

The Coalition For Change, Inc. (C4C), a 2019 Summit committee member, will host a panel to address the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) flaws. “The EEOC’s Office of Federal Operations’ failure to apply “fairly” the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) complaint guidelines undermines the Notification and Federal Employees Anti-Discrimination and Retaliation Act (No FEAR Act). It also spurs a health crisis within the Federal workforce,” said Tanya Ward Jordan, President of the Coalition For Change, Inc.(C4C) and Author of 17 Steps: A Federal Employee’s Guide For Tackling Workplace Discrimination.

The USDA Coalition of Minority Employees will host a separate panel to address the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) harmful workplace culture. “Wrongful firings, reprisal, and intimidation are out of control at USDA. It has been this way administration after administration, The EEOC fails to hold government agencies within Agriculture accountable for unlawful acts against minority farmers, especially Black farmers, and USDA employees.” said Mr. Lawrence Lucas, President Emeritus of the USDA Coalition of Minority Employees.

In addition to panels hosted by the C4C and the USDA Coalition, the Government Accountability Project will host a panel on the role of the Office of Special Counsel. The 2019 Summit event organizers, Michael McCray, Esq., and Marcel Reid, have arranged for an assembly of whistleblowers to cover additional panels covering topics such as: Guardianship, Surviving Whistleblowing, Working with Congress, Is Your Story a Book?, Working With Media, and Blackballing Minority Financial Institutions. Whistleblowers, advocates and members of the civil and human rights community are invited to participate in the free conference. For more information visit https://www.whistleblowersummit.com/
