Blake decision, holding the state's drug possession statute violates the federal and state constitutional rights to due process. Living with Conviction's Legal Empowerment team consists of formerly incarcerated navigators who work directly with their peers, with the support and oversight of attorneys. The organization does not provide legal advice or representation, but refers people to attorneys and representation, as needed or requested. In its first year serving individuals impacted by the Washington State Supreme Court's State v. Blake decision, Living with Conviction's formerly incarcerated navigators helped 184 people figure out if they were eligible for State v. Blake relief, and if so, understand and exercise their rights to constitutional relief in 337 cases. This work was undertaken in 31 of 39 counties. 66531 0 66531 Relief from Felony Court Debt: In 2023, Living with Conviction prioritized growing its peer-to-peer, post-conviction Legal Empowerment Program by helping people understand and exercise their statutory rights to request a waiver of their felony court debt, called legal financial obligations or LFOs, which have been accruing 12% to 50% interest and thus are overly burdensome and criminalize poverty. With the assistance of Living with Conviction's formerly incarcerated navigators, 125 people with court debt exercised their rights to request a reduction of their felony court debt in 387 cases, resulting in $1,838,594.85 in court debt waived, without the direct assistance of attorneys. This work was undertaken in 12 of Washington State's 39 counties. A key cross-cutting activity of Living with Conviction's Legal Empowerment Program is creating plain language legal education materials, including infographics and videos, shared via its partners and social media channels, among other content. 20674 20674 Multimedia Storytelling - Living with Conviction's Multimedia Storytelling Program is a collaboration with formerly incarcerated individuals impacted by these policies to both educate the public and inspire others to step up and claim these rights. At the core of this program is the power of these stories to challenge negative stereotypes and replace them with authentic narratives about trying to survive and thrive under the burden of an oppressive criminal legal system. 0 0 0 401593 1 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 WA X Deborah Espinosa 2063073028 PO Box 17392 Seattle WA 98107 Keshena Williams President 1 0 X X 500 0 0 Marcia Glover Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Atieno Odhiambo JD Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Luanna Soledad Gomez PhD Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Robert Carter Director, Jan-Jun 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Evan Walker MPA MJur Director Jul-Dec 1 0 X 0 0 0 500 0 0 0 0 0 0 Deborah Espinosa 410 NE 70th St Unit 310 Seattle WA 98119 Management services 123645 1 0 0 0 0 0 10789 0 10789 Contract Services 541900 461618 461618 0 0 0 0 0 0 461618 37 0 0 37 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 472444 461618 0 37 X 123645 98916 24729 2460 2460 5000 5000 234580 227647 6933 3129 2490 639 6188 5239 949 33720 31309 2411 38467 30774 7693 5054 4968 86 623 250 373 1657 1657 454523 401593 52930 0 54 17975 54 17975 0 0 X 54 17975 0 0 54 17975 54 17975 17921 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 54 10789 10843 0 0 0 54 10789 10843 9782 1061 37 37 10880 461618 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part III, Line 2 The organization was incorporated in Nov 2022 and began its programs in 2023.
