WORKING IN A COALITION WITH HOUSING ADVOCATES, TENANTS' RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS, AND SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES, WE PASSED TENANT PROTECTION ORDINANCES REQUIRING RENTERS BE GIVEN AT LEAST 3 MONTHS NOTICE BEFORE AN EVICTION OR A RENT INCREASE BASED ON A CHANGE OF BUILDING OWNERSHIP. THIS HAS IMPACTED THOUSANDS OF RENTERS IN THE WESTERN TWIN CITIES SUBURBS, AND AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, WE OBTAINED SEED FUNDING TO EXPAND THIS WORK TO THE EAST METRO AS WELL. 222589 3703 IMMIGRANT RIGHTS: OUR IMMIGRANT RIGHTS CAMPAIGN HAS FOCUSED ON THE INTERSECTION OF IMMIGRATION POLICY AND THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, WORKING IN COALITION WITH FAITH, COMMUNITY, AND IMMIGRANT-LED ORGANIZATIONS TO PASS STATE AND NATIONAL IMMIGRATION REFORM. WE HAVE ADVOCATED FOR SEVERAL YEARS FOR DRIVERS LICENSES FOR UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS AND OTHER IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES AT THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE, AND LAST YEAR WE SUCCESSFULLY PASSED THE FIRST MATERIAL REFORM TO SENTENCING LAWS IN MORE THAN A DECADE. (SEE CONTINUATION ON SCHEDULE O) 182919 3044 CONGREGATIONAL ORGANIZING: AS ANTICIPATED, THE WORK OF THIS NEW POSITION CONTINUES TO EVOLVE. OUR ORGANIZER HAS DEVELOPED STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH ST. PAUL CONGREGATIONS IN SUPPORT OF CITY AND STATE EFFORTS TO PROVIDE REPARATIONS TO SURVIVORS OF CHATTEL SLAVERY. THEY HAVE ALSO CONNECTED WITH NATIVE MINNESOTANS WHO ARE WORKING ON LAND-BACK REPARATIONS AND ARE EXPLORING THE INTERSECTIONS BETWEEN RACIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE. THE WORK TO ENGAGE CONGREGATIONS AROUND NONPARTISAN ELECTION AND DEMOCRACY DEFENSE WORK THROUGH THE 2024 GENERAL ELECTION CONTINUES. DECRIMINALIZING COMMUNITIES: THE 2022 MIDTERM ELECTIONS CREATED A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR PASSING MANY OF OUR STATEWIDE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES. WE WERE PART OF POWERFUL COALITIONS THAT PASSED DRIVERS LICENSES FOR ALL, ALLOWING ALL MINNESOTANS, REGARDLESS OF IMMIGRATION STATUS, TO OBTAIN DRIVERS LICENSES. WE RESTORED THE VOTE TO 40,000 FORMERLY INCARCERATED MINNESOTANS WHO LIVE, WORK AND RAISE FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITIES WHILE ON PAROLE OR PROBATION. WE PASSED INCREMENTAL CHANGES TO THE WORK-RELEASE AND POST-CONVICTION RELIEF POLICIES IN OUR DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, BUT THERE REMAINS WORK TO BE DONE IN 2024 TO ENSURE THAT THESE OPPORTUNITIES ARE FULLY IMPLEMENTED AND FUNDED. OUR ICE OUT TEAM HAS JOINED FORCES WITH THE NORTH STAR COALITION THAT IS ORGANIZING IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION THAT WOULD END COLLABORATION WITH ICE STATEWIDE, WHILE WE CONTINUE OUR COUNTY-BASED ORGANIZING. WE CONVENED OUR DCC COALITION FOR A TWO DAY RETREAT, COMMITTING TO SHARED WORK FOR THE NEXT PROGRAM YEAR AND BEYOND. COMBATING HATE: WE CONTINUED TO LEAD THE COMMUNITIES COMBATING HATE COALITION, AND WERE FINALLY ABLE TO PASS OUR COMBATING HATE BILL IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE. WE CONSULTED WITH THE POST BOARD TO UPDATE TRAINING STANDARDS AND OBJECTIVES FOR PEACE OFFICERS. WE MET WITH THE US ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RIGHTS TO CREATE SYSTEMS FOR COLLABORATING AND REPORTING TO ENSURE ACCURATE DATA ABOUT THE STATE OF HATE IN MINNESOTA. WE RECEIVED A CONTRACT FROM HENNEPIN COUNTY TO CONVENE ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COUNTY AROUND ANTI-HATE PUBLIC EDUCATION INITIATIVES, AND ARE WORKING ON CO-CREATING CURRICULUM WITH MULTI-FAITH, MULTI-RACIAL PARTNERS. OUR BOOK CLUB CONTINUES TO MEET REGULARLY AND HAS EXPANDED ITS PROGRAM OFFERINGS TO EXPLORE ANTIFASCIST ART AND DEEP DIVES INTO HISTORICAL ARCHIVES. WE CONTINUE TO OFFER BI-MONTLY PUBLIC ANTISEMITISM 101 TRAININGS, AND HAVE PROVIDED THE PROGRAM TO 12 FAITH, SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY GROUPS. HOUSING JUSTICE: WE HAVE CONTINUED TO WORK WITH A RETICENT MINNEAPOLIS CITY COUNCIL TO IMPLEMENT A FAIR RENT STABILIZATION POLICY FOLLOWING THE OUTCOME OF THE 2021 ELECTION. WE JOINED OUR FUTURE STARTS AT HOME, A MULTI-SECTOR STATEWIDE COALITION THAT IS PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO OUR STATE CONSTITUTION THAT WOULD CREATE AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING FUND. WE HOPE THAT THE MEASURE WILL APPEAR ON 2024 BALLOTS. THE HOUSING JUSTICE LEAGUE CONTINUES TO ADVOCATE FOR A MEANINGFUL TOPA POLICY THAT WILL GIVE RENTERS THE FIRST RIGHT TO PURCHASE THEIR BUILDINGS WHEN THEY ARE UP FOR SALE. WE HAVE STRENGTHENED OUR SUBURBAN HOUSING TEAMS AND THE SUBURBAN TENANT COALITION. TZEDEK INSTITUTE: UNFORTUNATELY WE WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN ENGAGING ENOUGH MEMBERS IN GREATER MINNESOTA TO COMPLETE OUR PLANNED WINTER TRAINING COHORT. INSTEAD, WE ARE HOLDING OUR FIRST IN-PERSON COHORT SINCE 2019 BEGINNING NEXT MONTH. JCA'S CO-FOUNDER AND LONG-TIME EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR VIC ROSENTHAL LOST HIS BATTLE WITH CANCER THIS SPRING. IN HIS MEMORY, WE HAVE RENAMED OUR ORGANIZING TRAINING PROGRAM THE VIC ROSENTHAL TZEDEK INSTITUTE (VRTI), AND RECONFIGURED THE CURRICULUM TO CREATE MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES FOR MULTI-GENERATIONAL ORGANIZING TRAINING AND ACTION. BEGINNING THIS WINTER WE WILL BEGIN A FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN IN SUPPORT OF STIPENDS FOR VRTI PARTICIPANTS. DEMOCRACY: THE STATEWIDE WE CHOOSE US COALITION DEVELOPED AN AMBITIOUS AND ULTIMATELY VERY SUCCESSFUL POLICY PLATFORM FOR THE 2023 MINNESOTA LEGISLATIVE SESSION. IN ADDITION TO RESTORING THE VOTE, WE PASSED AUTOMATIC VOTER REGISTRATION LEGISLATION, MADE UPDATES TO ELECTION DAY ACCESS AND TECHNOLOGY, PASSED A BILL ALLOWING 16 AND 17 YEAR OLDS TO PRE-REGISTER TO VOTE, AND ENSURED VOTER PROTECTIONS FOR EARLY AND ELECTION DAY VOTING. WE ARE WORKING WITH THE POLICY TEAM TO DEVELOP PRIORITIES FOR 2024. 661154 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 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 1 3 0 1 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MN X BETH GENDLER 6516322184 2324 UNIVERSITY AVENUE WEST SUITE ST PAUL MN 55114 MICHELLE HOROVITZ BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 SARA GREENHALGH BOARD SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 EZRA GOLBERSTEIN BOARD TREASURER 3.00 X X 0 0 0 DIANA SIEGEL-GARCIA BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID BRAUER BOARD CHAIR 3.00 X X 0 0 0 DYLAN FRESCO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CINDY REICH BOARD MEMBER 3.00 X 0 0 0 JESSICA SCHERER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEFFREY WEISS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CARIN MROTZ EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (THROUGH DEC 2022) 40.00 X X 65959 0 0 JON GREBNER BOARD MEMBER 1.50 X 0 0 0 SARA SCHONWALD BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE FLETCHER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BETH GENDLER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (FROM JAN 2023) 40.00 X X 78563 0 0 144522 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 619929 619929 PROGRAM REVENUE 900099 24395 24395 24395 12999 12999 501450 497052 4398 4398 4398 661721 24395 0 17397 11000 11000 118500 94800 11850 11850 529286 423428 52929 52929 75197 60158 7519 7520 18225 2743 13890 1592 4910 480 3838 592 18761 4498 6295 7968 48947 39157 4895 4895 291 291 2625 2074 367 184 839 671 84 84 3256 1302 1954 DIRECT PROGRAM 12194 12194 SMALL REPAIRS 10231 7673 1023 1535 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 1371 685 686 OTHER COSTS 565 565 856198 661154 105895 89149 395935 141750 190000 25000 6073 3679 5414 2679 2994 2735 490100 661339 3270 360610 1088372 1195113 19300 22678 97000 0 362219 116300 384897 X 437072 590377 535000 219839 972072 810216 1088372 1195113 -194477 32621 0 X 1 X 0 0 0 X 725758 846908 1416442 967048 644324 4600480 725758 846908 1416442 967048 644324 4600480 243575 4356905 8265 11954 27414 54186 17397 119216 3344 551 58 3953 4723649 0.92240 0.88060 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 4455 4455 851743 856198 153430 38358 0 0 167004 153430 320434 480651 2846 4455 7301 41751 38358 80109 120164 918 918 5414 2679 2735 2735 ROU ASSET 357340 SECURITY DEPOSIT 3270 360610 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 362219 362219 X 694342 32621 32621 661721 0 661721 856198 0 856198 0 856198 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION IS EXEMPT AS A PUBLIC CHARITY UNDER SEC 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
