TDS stands up for the dignity and humanity of people harmed by mass incarceration and advocates for a reimagined criminal-legal system that is just, humane, and free from racism and cruelty. 0 0 1802202 1315734 TDS accomplishes its mission through three programs: direct representation, policy reform, and public education. In the direct representation program, TDS represents people imprisoned in Texas because of extreme punishments, from the death penalty to life sentences for third-degree felonies, and advocates for people seeking a second chance through the parole system. TDS fights for our client's right to a second chance, focusing on cases that highlight how excessive punishments fuel mass incarceration, perpetrate injustice, and fail to serve public safety. Through the policy reform program, TDS advocates for local and state-wide reforms that will end excessive punishment and shrink mass incarceration in the Lone Star State. See Schedule O for continued detailsTDS' public education program uses storytelling about our clients' experiences to educate the public about how excessive sentences are cruel, extreme, and unnecessary. We make visible the damage that mass incarceration wreaks, so often hidden from the public eye. Shifting the narrative about those impacted by mass incarceration, we teach Texans about the vital importance of compassion and second chances. 1802202 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 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 1 3 0 1 19 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X X Burke Butler 5123208300 9390 Research Blvd Suite 210 Austin TX 78759 Murray Fogler Board Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Tiffany Roberts Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Toby M Galloway Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Manuel Berrelez Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jess Brand Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Ferry Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alex Kaplan Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Charles Kelly Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Kemmitt Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Samy Khalil Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Laurin Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alison Leland Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Marcus Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kosha Tucker Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mani Walia Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Burke Butler Executive Director 40.00 X 120167 0 21337 Randi Chavez Deputy Director 40.00 X 104127 0 31985 Emily Follansbee Legal Director 40.00 X 109101 0 20233 Estelle Hebron-Jones Director of Special Projects 1.00 X 103600 0 16688 436995 0 90243 4 0 0 0 0 171567 1130950 1302517 Mitigation Income 541100 908047 908047 Legal service fees 541100 407687 407687 1315734 35608 35608 34731 171567 49789 -15058 -15058 2638801 1315734 0 20550 141504 36156 36156 69192 1161822 1087725 73029 1068 32269 28669 2448 1152 161486 152754 8732 100609 87720 8089 4800 62409 62409 80810 70457 6498 3855 89569 71207 7743 10619 44365 38682 3567 2116 116121 101249 9334 5538 126208 110039 10148 6021 395 344 32 19 2220 1936 178 106 17507 15264 1408 835 2137294 1802202 229771 105321 376826 646826 1142156 1505543 689815 879173 3117 3500 37805 27494 6607 10311 266817 218802 2485338 3264155 19614 32997 37845 348795 268614 221591 326073 603383 X 2030515 2587644 128750 73128 2159265 2660772 2485338 3264155 501507 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 400119 776419 872005 780933 1302517 4131993 400119 776419 872005 780933 1302517 4131993 1032134 3099859 7215 2710 1731 14409 35608 61673 4193666 5152108 0.73920 0.64640 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2031973 2031973 251599 62900 0 0 227070 240909 251197 251599 970775 1456163 10000 10000 56768 60227 62799 62900 242694 364041 0 1 X 37805 27494 10311 10311 Deposits 10323 Operating right of use assets 208479 218802 Operating lease liability 221591 221591 2638801 0 2638801 0 2638801 2137294 0 2137294 0 2137294 Part IV, Line 2b: TDS holds funds in its cash accounts for the Capital Litigation Communications Project.
