In the past year, we helped lead the GFR Design Team to push the OUSD to partner with the Department of Violence Prevention to provide Violence Interruption and Prevention Teams at seven school sites. In 2023 BOP championed the development of the Peoples Budget, a community-developed proposal prioritizing what we know makes schools saferhiring and providing raises for Culture Keepers, Restorative Justice Facilitators, Family Parent Liaisons, and school nurses. OUSD also adopted the Village Response Safety Plans as a tool to coordinate safety and community based resources at each school site. The Police Abolition Working Group (PAWG) is a BOP-led committee of the Design Team. PAWG focuses on holding the district accountable to the terms of the GFR. The committee works to ensure the complete abolition of all forms of policing and policing culture in schools, as well as to develop new practices that promote healing, healthy school cultures, and strong school communities. In 2023, PAWG brought in more organizations to represent the community in this process. BOP led an orientation for the new leadership of this group last fall. Our goal is to expand community-ownership of the GFR implementation process. 367891 Communications & Digital Organizing (CDO): In 2023, BOP ensured that our work to achieve police-free schools was visible and accessible in mainstream discourse. As Black grassroots organizers, our communications team values and emphasizes our members and staffs expertise. We developed a narrative as well as talking points through a collaborative process; we know it is critical for those directly-impacted and involved to describe our issues and demands. Our communications team earned 19 unique media mentions, reaching over 73 million readers during the year. 295613 Organizing and Leadership Development (OLD): In 2023, we began developing the Black Liberation Institute (BLI). BLI provides training on organizing and political analysis. Through this space we are identifying and developing future Black organizers. We are building mentorship, community, and opportunities for growth. In 2023 BOP organized a test run of BLI and hired three community members to be a part of our foundational outreach team, two of which have become BOP members. Through the outreach team we were able to build support and awareness of the Peoples Budget, engage future members, and raise awareness about our work, which we plan to extend in 2024 by hiring at least six community members.In tandem with building the foundation of the BLI, we relaunched the Political Education Space to deepen the perspectives and politics of our members and staff. The Political Education Space is designed to support the ideological development of BOP's members, staff, and the Black community in general. This is where we come together to discuss the issues that social movements have grappled with throughout history and to apply what we learn to our current work. The Political Education Space meets on a monthly basis. Additionally, we were thrilled to relaunch Baby BOP, a weeklong camp experience during July. In this K-6 leadership and literacy-based program, children participated in arts and crafts, yoga, cooking, and more. We were able to create a unique and safe space to build our community, affi rm young voices and minds, and develop young leaders. Baby BOP continued throughout the year in a more limited scope. 1542968 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 25 0 true 22 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false CA X Malaika Parker 5108911219 1035 W Grand Ave Oakland CA 94607 Malaika Parker President/ED 32.00 0.00 X X 152000 0 29547 Jessica Black Black Sanctry Dir. 32.00 0.00 134367 0 28722 Falilah Bilal Chief of Staff 32.00 0.00 118060 0 19973 Chianda Rawlins Dir. of Admin. 32.00 0.00 107967 0 29547 Donna Bransford Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Aaron Rawlins Sec. & Treas. 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Duron Aldredge Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jakada Imani Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nedra Ginwright Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 512394 107789 4 false true false 0 2674050 2674050 Sales & Service Fees 611710 1550 1550 1550 38968 38968 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2714568 1550 38968 0 0 0 0 181547 99851 27232 54464 0 1168315 897632 173561 97122 3610 3537 73 213989 168627 29715 15647 103650 76874 15436 11340 0 1166 1166 104802 104802 0 0 0 219274 111773 55439 52062 0 94037 65311 17200 11526 0 0 64318 48893 9063 6362 24136 21101 2727 308 0 42506 36866 4419 1221 0 0 773 773 23591 11423 10695 1473 Staff development 1355 1080 275 Dues and other charges 328 328 0 2247397 1542968 452831 251598 3130357 1569781 2633639 5299121 1261001 616887 0 0 0 0 0 20921 24057 33235 32269 1739 966 0 0 0 0 7105 4156 7054762 7514968 83810 79794 4605 1656 88415 81450 X 4854737 5906067 2111610 1527451 6966347 7433518 7054762 7514968 467171 X false true X true false X 2432125 4298785 2318924 2911100 2674050 14634984 0 0 2432125 4298785 2318924 2911100 2674050 14634984 3605389 11029595 197 6960 3381 4171 38968 53677 0 0 14688661 54753 0.75090 0.69840 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 33235 32269 966 966 Operating lease liabilities 1656 1656 X 2714568 2714568 2714568 2247397 2247397 2247397 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from federal income tax on income under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and from state franchise tax under California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701 (d).
