Our team provided legal representation in 1,095 cases, focusing on legal financial obligation (LFO) relief, criminal record vacation, and vacation of unconstitutional drug possession convictions, among other areas. We also expanded opportunities for the community members to receive support in filing their own LFO, vacate and other reentry legal relief paperwork. Civil Survival launched an Attorney Office Hours program, where members of the public can easily schedule a meeting with an attorney to receive a summary of their eligibility for LFO relief or record vacation. We also continued to provide community members with free copies of their criminal history?the only service of its kind in Washington. In total, Civil Survival provided 782 criminal histories, allowing recipients to understand what might appear on a background check and which cases might be eligible for LFO reduction or record vacation. 622086 847089 During its second year of operation, Civil Survival's Blake Civil Impacts Project helped low-income Washingtonians vacate over 100 unconstitutional drug possession convictions under State v. Blake and obtain LFO refunds. In addition to direct legal representation, Civil Survival distributed education materials to assist the public in obtaining a Blake vacation without an attorney. Civil Survival maintained a guide on its website that allows people to determine whether they have a Blake conviction. Civil Survival brought Blake information into the community, sharing resources with hundreds of people at community events and meetings. 250177 522401 34298 In 2023, Civil Survival organized people directly impacted by the criminal legal system to understand their rights and advocate for policies to restore opportunity to our community. We held weekly Game Changer meetings where directly impacted people came together to build community, support each other, learn more about resources in the community, and how to impact system change through legislative advocacy. Over the last year, Civil Survival has deployed a multifaceted approach to advocacy. In addition to direct representation, we have engaged in legal advocacy aimed at broad-based advancements in reentry law. Our amicus advocacy, for example, has blossomed over the last year to cover all the focal points of the organization, including community members with unconstitutional drug possession convictions and those with court fines they could not afford to pay. Like almost all of our work, the amicus briefs we filed were a collaborative effort with other legal and grassroots organizations, strengthening our collective power in the courts. Civil Survival also leveraged community partnerships to expand access to legal financial obligation relief. We organized a coalition of 21 community and legal organizations, successfully requesting that the Washington Supreme Court simplify and expand the relief provided by court forms that must be used in thousands of legal financial obligation cases each year. Civil Survival's community organizers worked alongside thirteen other community-based organizations to create an advocacy event to remember. The event focused on educating people both familiar and unfamiliar with the legislative process, and facilitating a connection with their legislators. A key aspect of the lobby day was to work with justice-impacted youth and adults to craft their lived experiences and stories into compelling narratives that convince legislators of the importance of their policy proposals. The organizing team continued their efforts to increase access to voting in jails by going into facilities to ensure that people are aware of their right to vote, and register to vote. In 2023, Civil Survival's organizers went into three different facilities, to connect with and educate people who were currently incarcerated in those institutions. This inreach into facilities is a core aspect of Civil Survival's work and, as always, we welcomed the partnership in this work of organizations in the juvenile justice space who are dedicated to reaching our youth. 1651377 true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false 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 2 0 true 15 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false true false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X Corey Guilmette 2066415334 PO Box 634 Port Orchard WA 98366 Corey Guilmette Director 40.00 0.00 X 121905 0 43876 Tarra Simmons Director 40.00 0.00 X 113461 0 43956 Prachi Dave Director 40.00 0.00 X 143936 0 4982 Sugam Soni 40.00 0.00 112311 0 4652 Teresa Groves 40.00 0.00 106251 0 4524 Derek Boyd Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 1400 0 0 Cynthia Brady Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 1400 0 0 Amanda Dubois President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Shon Hopwood Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Noel Vest Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tadeu Velloso Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cleo Floyd Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Cooper Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Heidi Bateman Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 600664 101990 5 false true true 0 1900543 724751 2625294 Voting Rights 900099 34298 34298 34298 7344 7344 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other revenue 0 2666936 41642 0 0 0 0 379302 194058 113276 71968 0 1013959 870192 138937 4830 118689 63598 32623 22468 221968 169964 37612 14392 134275 103096 23461 7718 0 43995 43995 60720 60720 0 0 0 8624 5119 1313 2192 0 14189 10997 3192 11144 9972 1172 0 300 300 14210 11711 1916 583 0 8410 7849 304 257 24 24 0 0 1000 500 500 Program Activities 121339 99547 21792 Professional Staff Costs 85451 81628 3823 Program Development & Mgmt 79204 17210 59856 2138 Postage and Shipping 3691 3627 64 819 2009 -1421 231 2321313 1651377 543159 126777 555329 571582 367072 0 495829 514471 0 0 2319 0 1415 0 0 0 0 0 2 1051158 1456861 111271 171351 111271 171351 X 939887 1124293 161217 939887 1285510 1051158 1456861 345623 X false false false X 132260 47120 30576 1201405 2625294 4036655 0 0 132260 47120 30576 1201405 2625294 4036655 0 4036655 0 0 9000 34298 43298 4079953 0.98940 0.98810 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 8909 8909 8909 1782 446 7127 true 1782 1782 2673 8909 8909 446 446 669 false false false false false false false false false Corey Guilmette Director 121905 43876 121905 43876 Prachi Dave Director 143936 4982 143936 4982 Sugam Soni 112311 4652 116963 Tarra Simmons Director 113461 43956 113461 43956 Teresa Groves 106251 4524 110775 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b No review was or will be conducted.
