Goal: Ask The DOJ Investigate Section 242 Title 18 and 14th Amendment Violation

Sean and Khanisa Darby are local business owners of The Pudding Bar based in Easton, Pennsylvania. 

After being injured, losing their home, and business; all on the same premises, The Darbys have been retaliated against for speaking out. 
After the City of Easton turned their backs on code violations, and public health and safety issues- the Darbys met City Council at City Hall to raise awareness and request the City of Easton to step in. 

 Since, the Darbys have been denied access to violation reports while the city also allows structural damage to continue without repair. 
The retaliation persisted with an illegal lockout on The Pudding Bar executed by the Northampton County Sheriff in concert with the Northampton County Prothonotary without prior notice or a hearing, which is not only required by Pennsylvania law, but by our Constitution. 

Sean and Khanisa’s 14th Amendment right to Procedural Due Process was violated when their Business Premises and Possessions were illegally confiscated without an order from a judge. The Sheriff Deputy, Prothonotary Deputy Clerk, Two Attorneys and the developer have conspired together to suppress the truth, oppress the Darbys all while acting under the “color of law”.

As painful and devastating as the past two years have been, The Darbys have heard stories equally as devastating from many members of their dedicated local customer base and from the local community over all.

There is truly power in numbers and the hope for positive change in the Lehigh Valley is why the Darbys are hoping you sign this petition. Using our voices collectively is one of the best ways to create the change we seek. 

Thank you for your continued support.
