Supporting Documentation: Capital Pride Silence - The Case Against Them For Monies Taken Intended For HIV/AIDS Community

Capital Pride Alliance accepted monies intended for the HIV/AIDS community

Capital Pride who this year refused me media credentials (I am a credentialed member of several media outlets) due to my publicly denounmcing Capital Pride from taking funds intended for the HIV/AIDS Community to the sum of $43,000 in 2016,2017, 2018, 2019 - 2018,2019 taking the largest allocation from The Cherry Fund that the organization gave out - this when Capital Pride does not provide one single HIV/AIDS service.  I was on assignment for The Advocate Magazine when they declined all credentials to cover any of Pride for The Advocate Magazine.

As you'll see from excerpts of the Cherry Fund's taxes indeed Capital Pride has taken monies from them including the highest amount allocations given from the Cherry Fund in 2018 and 2019.  They have yet to respond whether they have accepted any monies from The Cherry Fund in 2020 $ 2021.

Above is my inital inquiry to Ashely and Ryan about my credentials being declined.

Above Ashley's only response to me.  He claims they don't take money from The Cherry Fund. When infact they do.

Further evidence from the Cherry Website:

I explain my concerns of what the Cherry Fund was doing and ask that in their best interest they conduct an investigation - remember this was before knowing the Cherry Fund had recieved so much money over the years because the Cherry Fund had refused to complete its taxes. 

The following email is from Ryan finally reached out to the Cherry Fund to inquire about my alligations - still not knowing at this point the very organization I'm askling to investigate was the one who recieved money from the Cherry Fund.  When Ryan reports that the Cherry Fund just submitted years worth of taxes (note he never asked them for them so I could have them or for us to review) He says I had a precieved lack of transparency - can't be precieved when he admits they just filed them.
