We do this through art and personal stories of crimes that people got away with, or crimes for which people were caught, and an examination of how their lives could have been or were altered. WAAC uses visual art and storytelling to change people's perceptions of the criminal legal system and of the false dichotomy between criminal and clean. 0 0 127419 16778 One in four people has a criminal record, but all of us have a criminal history. We Are All Criminals collects stories from people who have the luxury of living without an official reminder of a past mistake and encourages those people to consider how different their lives would be had they been caught. We educate them about the disparate impact race, ethnicity, and class have on whether a neighborhood is policed, whether a person is arrested, charged, and prosecuted, how heavily they are punished, and how harshly they are impacted by collateral consequences after they have served their court-assigned punishment. We Are All Criminals also collects stories from people who were caught and allows those individuals to reclaim their stories, providing personal information that is more pertinent to a character assessment than a past criminal act. We Are All Criminals collects stories from family members of incarcerated individuals, and amplifies the voices of currently incarcerated artists. These stories are shared through photographs, poetry, and prose in various forums, including art exhibits, presentations and trainings, radio interviews, the website, and the book We Are All Criminals, to encourage everyone to reassess the relevance of a criminal record when making decisions about housing, employment, licensing, and nearly every other aspect of a person's life. These stories are grouped into categories such as "Luxury to Forget," "More Than My Mugshot," "Ripple Effect," "See Me," "SEEN." 0 0 0 127419 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MN X Christina Szitta 6513293288 1730 New Brighton Blvd Ste 104-128 Minneapolis MN 55413 Emily Baxter Executive Director 40 0 X X X 86981 0 2007 Sara H Jones Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Raj Sethuraju Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Sarah Davis Board Chair 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Alicia Smith Director 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Raymond Dehn Treasurer 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Mirella Ceja-Orozco Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Ebony Ruhland Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Louise Waakaa'igan Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 86981 0 2007 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12864 0 0 60954 500 73818 Speaking fees and workshops 611430 4208 4208 0 0 Photography and curatorial collaborations 711510 12570 12570 0 0 0 0 0 0 16778 1473 1473 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12864 1694 -1694 0 -1694 252 142 110 110 0 0 0 90485 18361 0 -1694 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 86981 77413 3479 6089 0 0 0 0 10000 2000 4000 4000 2307 1846 200 261 0 0 0 0 7519 6173 571 775 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 761 0 761 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 32500 32500 0 0 1058 735 80 243 7172 2499 2261 2412 3658 3000 292 366 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 84 84 0 0 0 0 0 0 150 150 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1019 1019 0 0 2454 0 2454 0 155663 127419 14098 14146 82162 27447 150178 136651 0 863 1358 0 0 0 302 0 0 9877 1096 4580 8781 0 0 0 0 0 238085 174237 0 1330 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1330 X 212805 172627 25280 280 238085 172907 238085 174237 -65178 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 139963 70042 86526 75750 73318 445599 139963 70042 86526 75750 73318 445599 152819 292780 178 1473 1651 447250 117327 0.65462 0.68180 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9877 0 1096 8781 0 0 0 0 8781 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The 2023 Form 990 was discussed at the March 2024 board meeting, in a discussion led by Director of Operations Christina Szitta.
