LOCALLY, WE OPERATE THE FIRST ALTERNATIVE-TO-INCARCERATION AND VICTIM SERVICE PROGRAM IN THE UNITED STATES THAT FOCUSES ON VIOLENT FELONIES IN THE ADULT COURTS. NATIONALLY, WE LEVERAGE THE LESSONS FROM OUR DIRECT SERVICE TO TRANSFORM THE JUSTICE SYSTEM THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS, ADVOCACY, AND ELEVATING THE EXPERIENCE AND POWER OF THOSE MOST IMPACTED. RIGOROUS AND HOPEFUL, WE BUILD PRACTICAL STRATEGIES TO HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR HARM, BREAK CYCLES OF VIOLENCE, AND SECURE SAFETY, HEALING AND JUSTICE FOR SURVIVORS AND THEIR COMMUNITIES. 0 0 2973529 DIRECT SERVICES - WE OPERATED A RESTORATIVE JUSTICE-BASED ALTERNATIVE TO INCARCERATION AND VICTIM SERVICE PROGRAM FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMMITTED VIOLENT CRIME AND THOSE THEY HARM IN BROOKLYN, THE BRONX, AND MANHATTAN. OUR WORK DEMONSTRATED THAT PARTICIPATORY, NON-PRISON-BASED RESPONSES TO VIOLENT CRIME CAN: BREAK CYCLES OF VIOLENCE BY PROVIDING DIGNIFIED PATHWAYS TO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR HARM AND MEANINGFUL PATHWAYS TO HEALING FOR THOSE HARMED; IMPROVE THE MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF CRIME SURVIVORS AND PROVIDE AND FOR MORE EQUITABLE SERVICES FOR YOUNG MEN OF COLOR AND OTHER UNDER-SERVED SURVIVORS; AVERT THE DAMAGING EFFECTS OF INCARCERATION FOR INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES; AND INCREASE PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCE OF FAIRNESS AND SAFETY IN THE AFTERMATH OF HARM. 989341 ADVOCACY - COMMON JUSTICE RAISED AWARENESS ABOUT NEW YORK STATE'S VICTIM COMPENSATION PROGRAM IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE BARRIERS TO ACCESS THAT SURVIVORS FACE. WE EXPANDED AWARENESS THAT SURVIVORS ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED TO REPORT THEIR HARM TO THE POLICE IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR VICTIM COMPENSATION. WE HAVE ALSO WORKED TO ELIMINATE THE STATE'S CONTRIBUTORY CONDUCT POLICY, WHICH BARS SURVIVORS FROM RECEIVING VICTIM COMPENSATION IF THEY OR THE LOVED ONE THEY LOST TO VIOLENCE ARE DEEMED TO HAVE HAD A HAND IN THEIR OWN HARM. THE ORGANIZING TEAM ALSO WORKED WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO DEVELOP STRATEGIES THAT WILL CHANGE THE WAY MEDIA OUTLETS REPORT ON CRIME, VIOLENCE AND SAFETY. 1062300 100000 PARTNERSHIPS & TRAINING - COMMON JUSTICE WORKED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT OUR INTERVENTIONS ARE POSSIBLE AND CAN BE SUCCESSFUL, CREATING SPACE FOR OTHERS TO DO SIMILAR WORK ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WE HAVE LAID THE GROUNDWORK FOR REPLICATION AND EXPANSION BY BUILDING NATIONAL AND LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS, ESPECIALLY IN JURISDICTIONS WHERE VIOLENCE IS A CENTRAL CONCERN. WE ASSESSED POTENTIAL SITES THROUGH A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS THAT CONSIDERED ALIGNMENT WITH OUR PRINCIPLES AND KEY STRUCTURAL FACTORS. BASED ON THAT ASSESSMENT, WE ENGAGED PARTNERS AT VARYING LEVELS, RANGING FROM FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR MODEL TO BROADER FIELD-BUILDING EFFORTS. 844786 COMMUNICATIONS - COMMON JUSTICE WORKED TO SHIFT PUBLIC NARRATIVES ABOUT VIOLENCE BY CENTERING THE EXPERIENCES AND PERSPECTIVES OF SURVIVORS AND THOSE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM. WE USED MEDIA ENGAGEMENT, DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS, PUBLIC EVENTS, AND CREATIVE PROJECTS TO INFLUENCE HOW VIOLENCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY ARE DISCUSSED. OUR MESSAGING IS PRESENT ACROSS A WIDE RANGE OF PLATFORMS AND AUDIENCES, AIMING TO REFRAME PUBLIC DISCOURSE AROUND SAFETY, PUNISHMENT, AND ALTERNATIVES TO INCARCERATION. 844786 5869956 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 28 0 50 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 AL AR CA CT FL GA HI IL KS KY MA MD MI MN MS NC NH NJ NM NY OR PA RI SC TN VA WV X MYLES PAISLEY 9175886051 PO BOX 25131 BROOKLYN NY 11202 IAN FULLER BOARD CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JON DUTTON TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LISA DANIELS BOARD SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 NEAL KWATRA TREASURER (TERM ENDED 03/14/25) 1.00 X X 0 0 0 NORRIS HENDERSON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 KEMPIS SONGSTER TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 EMMA JORDAN-SIMPSON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL BUTLER TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DANIELLE SERED EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & PRESI 35.00 X 202407 0 23867 KIRA SHEPHERD VP OF POLICY AND ORGANIZING 35.00 X 171701 0 24071 OLAPEJU O OYEYEMI VP OF PROGRAMS 35.00 X 155990 0 25149 HYUNHEE SHIN DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT 35.00 X 144240 0 10169 SHONDA FRANCIS DIRECTOR OF HR 35.00 X 140424 0 55855 MYLES PAISLEY INTERIM COO 35.00 X 166578 0 29410 RAYMOND MACCANI JR DIRECTOR OF TRAINING 35.00 X 161954 0 64103 STEPHAN M THOMAS DIRECTOR OF PARTNERSHIPS & REPLICATION 35.00 X 129400 0 62508 1272694 0 295132 10 0 1 0 40 FLATBUSH DE OWNER LLC 110 WEST 34TH STREET 9TH FLOOR NEW YORK NY 10001 LEASING COMPANY/LANDLORD 391230 CITRIN COOPERMAN ADVISORS LLC 50 ROCKERFELLER PLAZA NEW YORK NY 10020 ACCOUNTING SERVICES 236317 IMAGIS LLC 109 LAWRENCE HILL DRIVE COLD SPRING HARBOR NY 11724 IT SERVICES 134485 3 58908 1985121 4912988 6957017 450403 450403 32775 58908 36183 -3408 -3408 1985 1985 1985 7405997 0 0 448980 X 100000 100000 629590 594615 34975 3533720 2579669 474333 479718 92748 69199 12393 11156 801017 703097 1588 96332 371921 280793 43963 47165 283098 283098 950051 718944 155053 76054 3788 3788 39074 28734 6807 3533 179112 114537 51617 12958 566963 388923 121670 56370 131487 122571 7640 1276 23589 9700 12352 1537 37431 37431 FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT 81867 48638 25456 7773 MEALS 55189 48767 3046 3376 STIPENDS AND OTHER SUPP 51350 50914 436 LICENSES AND FEES 40031 7067 15408 17556 7972026 5869956 1252291 849779 3492135 10704555 8000000 3102051 3365545 1700198 1443123 61371 83784 521312 43313 296817 477999 178677 3295659 16831249 19370665 846580 737904 61339 3275460 907919 4013364 X 11280296 11732657 4643034 3624644 15923330 15357301 16831249 19370665 -566029 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 3980070 13351777 8443063 5601151 6957017 38333078 3980070 13351777 8443063 5601151 6957017 38333078 6760482 31572596 434 3131 76265 359925 450403 890158 8850 44375 14365 42720 1985 112295 39335531 0.80260 0.63200 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER REVENUE - 2020 AMOUNT: $ 8,850. 2021 AMOUNT: $ 44,375. 2022 AMOUNT: $ 14,365. 2023 AMOUNT: $ 42,720. 2024 AMOUNT: $ 1,985.
