My name is Thomas Coates, and I’m reaching out in good faith, as a disabled individual who has navigated a complex, hostile, and procedurally compromised legal and administrative process after facing discrimination and retaliation in the workplace. I write not as a lawyer or public figure, but as someone who has done the hard work: documenting everything, following protocol, and preserving evidence—often in the face of obstruction, silence, and cascading harm.
What I share with you here is not theoretical. It is evidence-driven, citation-rich, and rooted in lived experience. I have built a record of filings and factual assertions supported by emails, official policies, and real-time system logs. In doing so, I’ve encountered systemic breakdowns—where processes meant to protect instead serve to delay, obscure, or suppress justice.
I am including a summary of key filings and documentation so you can see for yourself how critical issues—such as falsified disability records, retaliation for ADA-protected absences, and EEOC investigative failures—have been allowed to accumulate unchecked. I believe these are not only violations of law but also failures of duty, transparency, and basic equity.
My hope is to contribute to a broader understanding of how such cases unfold in real time and how we might collectively push for higher standards of protection and accountability. Your leadership and voice in this space could make all the difference.
I am attaching for your review a summary of recent filing which will give you a flavor for where I am currently positioned in my efforts:
With your permission, I would like to copy you on my filings and communications, including those to:
