Social Justice Road Trip Logo Design Contest Winner
I am pleased to announce the winner of the social justice road trip! Actually, there were two winners! Both winning designers did an excellent job at providing a number of great logo designs. This is one of the reasons why I have used 99 Designs in the past for logos. After careful review and feedback, the following two logos were selected:
The purpose of these logos are to maximize opportunities for marketing and advertising the website ReportAbuseCayuga.com. The logos will also be used to make up support T-shirts, signs, bumper stickers, business cards, etc. I will be having some banners made up to place on my vehicle and will be taking what I am calling the “Social Justice Road Trip 2024”.
The trip from Colorado to New York State (NYS) usually takes about 5 days’ worth of driving. However, for this upcoming Social Justice Road Trip 2024, I will be substantially increasing the amount of time that I am on the road to maximize exposure and raise awareness of the corruption occurring within Cayuga County, NY.
The tentative plan for the Social Justice Road Trip 2024 is for me to start in Pueblo, CO and then make my way to Denver, CO and then turn east. I plan to go out of my way to pass through bigger cities and drive through college and university campuses. I don’t have the route figured out just yet, but I will likely be passing through places like Kansas City, Chicago, Louisville, Nashville, Atlanta, Norfolk, Washington, DC, NYC, Albany…and of course, doing loops around all of the major cities in NYS until I finally reach Home Sweet Home…Cayuga County…at the end of this October…just in time for Halloween!
So…what do these logos and upcoming road trip have to do with social justice? To answer this question, it’s helpful to have a good definition of “social justice”. Here are a few example definitions:
Wikipedia defines social justice as “justice in relation to the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society where individuals' rights are recognized and protected”.
Brittanica defines social justice as “…the fair treatment and equitable status of all individuals and social groups within a state or society. The term also is used to refer to social, political, and economic institutions, laws, or policies that collectively afford such fairness and equity and is commonly applied to movements that seek fairness, equity, inclusion, self-determination, or other goals for currently or historically oppressed, exploited, or marginalized populations.”
Oxford defines social justice as “…creating a fair and equal society in which each individual matters, their rights are recognized and protected, and decisions are made in ways that are fair and honest.”
Now let me rephrase that question…so what does social justice have to do with corruption of the Cayuga County government and legal system? Well, the fact is that corruption does not discriminate. Corruption only seeks to benefit the few who are willing to play the games…at the expense of everyone else. Sometimes in small ways…sometimes in big ways…but at the end of the day, corruption is corruption. Small acts of corruption lead to bigger acts of corruption, until things get to the point they are at in Cayuga County, NY…like they have been building up for the last 25 years…of Cayuga County corruption. I also like to use the following description when it comes to corrupt and narcissistic government officials and employees and unethical legal professionals…and those people who support them...simply stated…
…people can choose to support and live in a Dog-Eat-Dog world…but at some point, they will become dog food too. It’s just one of those natural laws that people tend to forget…
One of the many reasons for why this corruption is so entrenched with the Cayuga County government and legal system is because of the ongoing protection of the drug dealer Boy Wonder. This drug dealer has been involved in Cayuga County for years…decades. He has embedded himself into various organizations and groups to increase his customer base and gather more embarrassing, unethical, and illegal dealings of various Cayuga County community members, including prominent individuals within the county. According to Boy Wonder’s ex-wife, he has vowed that if he gets arrested, then he is going to unload all of the blackmail material he has on people in the county. This is why he continues to be protected by the unethical Cayuga County legal system and why one only needs to take a look at the Cayuga County News to see the clear pattern of what is going on.
Personally, I am still a bit baffled with NYS law enforcement because if I was in law enforcement…and a drug dealer boldly proclaimed that if he got arrested he was going to provide all the information on all the other criminal activities like drug dealing, child molestation, and other nefarious things going on in Cayuga County, NY…then just as a matter of efficiency and in utilization of taxpayer dollars and law enforcement resources, I would think that makes perfect sense for all kinds of reasons! But alas, Cayuga County still continues to protect Boy Wonder and so the broken record for the families of Cayuga County continues to play on….at the whim of Boy Wonder and his merry band of men and women who continue to support him...including his ex-wife…why not, she still owns a timeshare with him. I would think especially with the election season that some up and coming law enforcement official or a possible candidate for NYS Attorney General would be jumping all over this one given the documentation that has been compiled.
Side note – When good documentation does not get shared in court files…or when court files are submitted willfully, knowingly and with intent that contain verifiable false statements…it’s easier to discount what people are saying when the evidence they provide never makes its way into the court system. It is also much easier for people to keep perjuring themselves when the judges nor district attorney have any intention on applying NYS law. Instead, they apply the law that gets created in Cayuga County which suits their needs to keep protecting Boy Wonder. It really is a sweet system they have got worked out…it is kind of funny, but really it’s not.
I am now over 2+ years into my investigation into the corruption in Cayuga County and what is happening there is nothing short of the most grotesque abuse of power and corruption that is the most polar opposite of anything close to social justice. As such, I will carry on with the exposure of the corruption in Cayuga County, NY until something is done regarding this matter…and specifically…putting Boy Wonder behind bars where he belongs. At the end of the day, Cayuga County, NY will be forced to make a decision soon. I’ll post updates once I start the Social Justice Road Trip 2024 and get things figured out.
