What if you could influence GROUNDBREAKING changes in statutory employee protections against corporate tyrants that trample employee rights for fun and amusement? Would you do it? Would you be a catalyst for change? Here's your opportunity.

What if doing the right thing at work made you the enemy? For countless employees, this isn't a hypothetical - it's their daily reality. The moment you speak up about workplace discrimination, everything changes. Suddenly, you're not just an employee - you're a threat that needs to be silenced. They say you should SPEAK UP and report unethical behavior when you see it. But what they don't tell you…..is how quickly you become the problem needing to be neutralized instead of the wrongdoer.

Retaliation comes in many forms. Maybe it was after reporting suspected discrimination. Or after requesting accommodation for a disability. Perhaps after taking FMLA leave for a medical condition. Or maternity leave after childbirth. Or simply asking why you're paid less than your colleagues. You’re entitled to ask questions, right?

Followed the proper channels. Talked to your manager. Reported it to HR. You did everything 'right. Then, instead of improving, things got worse. Suddenly, your performance was 'concerning.'  The environment became hostile. Every move scrutinized. Every mistake magnified.

Sound familiar? I’m sure it does!! If you haven’t experienced it, you most certainly know a friend or family member that has.

The thing is most people stay silent. They don’t have the energy to fight back. They can't afford to lose their job because they have families to feed, bills to pay, people that depend on them. So, they feel powerless against corporate giants.

When Wells Fargo possibly engaged in discriminatory pay practices, retaliated against me after I reported it, harassed me for filling out complaints about the ongoing retaliation,  mocked my ADA status and request for accommodation, retaliated for using FMLA to address medical conditions that they purposely exacerbated, I chose to fight back. I refused to remain silent!! Not just for myself, but for every employee who's ever felt powerless against corporate abuse.

For the past year, I've represented myself in federal court - a David versus Goliath battle that's now poised to establish groundbreaking legal precedent in the 4 Circuit and beyond. Without an army of corporate lawyers, I've:

  • Filed compelling federal court arguments
  • Created opportunity for landmark precedent
  • Challenged Wells Fargo's attempt to hide behind arbitration
  • Developed legal theories that could protect millions of workers

What makes this case extraordinary:

If we win, it could fundamentally change how companies treat employees who speak up. No more hiding systemic illegal discrimination and unlawful retaliation through forced arbitration. The widely accepted practice of forcing employees away from fully vindicating their statutory rights after an employer has egregiously violated fundamental terms of the arbitration agreement, needs to come to a screeching halt!

Help David Slay Goliath: Fighting Wells Fargo's Culture of Retaliation

We're seeking donations to fund a historic legal battle where a single employee dares to challenge Wells Fargo, a banking giant notorious for prioritizing profits over people. Wells Fargo's history of scandals - from fake accounts to illegal foreclosures - demonstrates their willingness to disregard both law and ethics. Now, they're using arbitration agreements to champion retaliation, hide discrimination, silence those who speak up, and prevent employees from seeking ultimate accountability via class action lawsuits. But we have a chance to change that!!

Right now, corporations use mandatory arbitration agreements (MAA) to:

  • Hinder statutory rights
  • Relentlessly retaliate without consequences
  • Punish employees without impunity

As a pro se litigant (representing myself since March 2024), I've already accomplished what I’m sure Wells Fargo thought impossible (for a regular Ole Joe):

  • Filed compelling federal court arguments
  • Created opportunities to establish landmark legal precedent in the 4 Circuit
  • Developed innovative legal theories that could reshape employment law

But now we're at a critical turning point. While I've successfully navigated this case pro se, hiring the right attorney is crucial for maximizing impact. Here's why your support matters:

The Power of Proper Resources:

  • Hire attorney(s) who specialize in precedent-setting cases
  • Fund thorough investigation of systemic discrimination
  • Support comprehensive discovery process
  • Enable depositions of key executives
  • Secure top expert witnesses
  • Build strongest possible case

Stand With Me to Change Employment Law Forever

Despite their massive legal resources, Wells Fargo faces something they didn't expect - an employee who understands the law and refuses to be silenced.

Your support today isn't just about helping one person fight Wells Fargo - it's about creating legal precedent that could protect MILLIONS of American workers for generations to come.
