FORTUNATELY, FOR THIS AND MANY OTHER REASONS, INCLUDING THE HORRIFIC RISK OF EXECUTING AN INNOCENT PERSON, THE DEATH PENALTY IN THE U.S. IS ON ITS WAY OUT. ELEVEN STATES HAVE ENDED THE DEATH PENALTY IN THE MODERN ERA, WITH EJUSA AND ITS STATE PARTNERS PLAYING A PROMINENT ROLE IN ACHIEVING EACH OF THESE SUCCESSES. EJUSA EDUCATES THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE DEATH PENALTY'S PROBLEMS; MOBILIZES OPPOSITION TO HIGH-PROFILE EXECUTIONS THAT ILLUMINATE SYSTEMIC RACISM, THE RISK OF WRONGFUL CONVICTION, OR OTHER INJUSTICES; TRAINS AND COACHES LOCAL ORGANIZERS AROUND THE COUNTRY; FOSTERS DIALOGUE ACROSS THE AISLE, WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, SURVIVORS OF VIOLENCE, AND OTHER UNLIKELY ALLIES; AND ADVOCATES FOR AN END TO THE DEATH PENALTY IN KEY STATES. 2503021 548653 141447 COMMUNITY SAFETY AND JUSTICEEJUSA EMPLOYS COMMUNITY ORGANIZING, ADVOCACY, COALITION BUILDING AND OTHER TACTICS TO BUILD COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS TO VIOLENCE THAT LESSEN THE U.S.'S DEPENDENCE ON OVER-POLICING AND INCARCERATION. THE PROGRAM EMPLOYS THE FOLLOWING STRATEGIES TO ADVANCE THIS GOAL: (1) POLICY ADVOCACY TO CREATE AND EXPAND FUNDING STREAMS FOR VIOLENCE PREVENTION ALTERNATIVES TO LAW ENFORCEMENT; (2) SYSTEMS CHANGE VIA ORGANIZING, ADVOCACY, AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON THE GROUND IN KEY CITIES TO IMPLEMENT VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND HEALING APPROACHES ON THE GROUND; (3) CAPACITY BUILDING TO INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS THAT OFFER VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND HEALING PROGRAMMING IN LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS, TO HELP THEM STRENGTHEN THEIR PROGRAMS, ACCESS MORE FUNDS, AND EXPAND THEIR REACH; AND (4) TRAUMA TRAINING AND CONSULTING WITH POLICE OFFICERS. 140295 22175 NARRATIVE SHIFTING PROGRAMTO CREATE THE CLIMATE FOR NEW APPROACHES TO TAKE HOLD, EJUSA EDUCATES THE PUBLIC AND POLICYMAKERS ABOUT COMMUNITY-LED APPROACHES TO VIOLENCE PREVENTION, BRINGS MEDIA ATTENTION TO THE IMPACT AND SUCCESS OF THESE PROGRAMS, AND ELEVATES KEY VOICES THAT PUSH BACK ON THE CURRENT PUNITIVE NARRATIVE OF JUSTICE. IN NEWARK, NJ, BATON ROUGE, LA, AND OTHER CITIES, EJUSA ENGAGES IN PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS TO LIFT THE STORIES OF PEOPLE MOST AFFECTED BY THE JUSTICE SYSTEM. EJUSA BUILDS ON THESE LOCAL STORIES - INCLUDING HOLDING NEWARK UP AS A NATIONAL MODEL FOR ADDRESSING VIOLENCE - TO CREATE A NATIONAL NARRATIVE THAT EMPHASIZES THE SUCCESS OF PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS VIOLENCE WHILE REDUCING RELIANCE ON POLICING AND MASS INCARCERATION. THIS NATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM WORKS TO CHANGE FALSE NARRATIVES ABOUT VIOLENCE, RACE, AND TRAUMA WHILE LIFTING UP THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COMMUNITY-CENTERED, TRAUMA-INFORMED RESPONSES TO VIOLENCE THAT CENTER THE HEALING AND WELL-BEING OF THE MOST IMPACTED COMMUNITIES. 2474327 783006 HEALING JUSTICE, RESTORATIVE JUSTICE, AND RESEARCH AND EVALUATION 2474327 783006 5994868 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 39 0 50 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 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 1 0 AK AL AR CA CO CT DC FL HI IL KS KY MA MD ME MI MS MN NV NC ND NH NJ NM NY OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X X BAINDU CONTE-HARVEY 7188018941 12389 GEORGIA AVENUE 1101 SILVER SPRING MD 20906 LEONARD NOISETTE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 URSULA BENTELE VICE CHAIR (THRU JULY 2025) 5.00 X X 0 0 0 ROSCOE DAVIS TREASURER (THRU JULY 2025) 5.00 X X 0 0 0 JAMILA HODGE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 224217 0 4148 EVONNE SILVA SECRETARY 5.00 X X 0 0 0 BAINDU CONTE-HARVEY CHIEF OF FINANCE AND OPERATIONS 40.00 X 152743 0 27678 KATISHA ANDREW DIRECTOR (THRU DEC 2025) 2.00 X 0 0 0 MIKAELA LEVONS DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT 40.00 X 141787 0 26716 PATRICK EGAN DIRECTOR OF STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS 40.00 X 136804 0 15173 CYMONE FULLER SENIOR DIRECTOR RESTORATIVE JUSTICE 40.00 X 134845 0 7946 TANYA THOMPSON CHIEF OF PEOPLE AND CULTURE 40.00 X 126001 0 24702 MONA CADENA DIRECTOR OF ADVOCACY CAMPAIGNS 40.00 X 134367 0 14457 ANGELA BUONOCORE DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 LISA GOOD DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JANE HENDERSON DIRECTOR (THRU NOV 2025) 2.00 X 0 0 0 JESSE MOORE DIRECTOR (THRU NOV 2025) 2.00 X 0 0 0 DIANE ZIMMERMAN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 FAITH MITCHELL DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 BRENDA HENRY DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 1050764 0 120820 7 0 1 0 0 626578 2603822 3230400 CONSULTING FEES 541900 141447 141447 141447 98389 98389 3626923 3557422 28945 69501 -28945 40556 40556 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 4786 4786 4786 3515578 141447 0 143731 1627486 1627486 228365 9135 212379 6851 3477663 2820742 233041 423880 106887 83209 11369 12309 923950 693789 126700 103461 313320 313320 4377 4377 62941 62941 18061 18061 637587 412818 193429 31340 665 646 19 35993 27333 6481 2179 129910 96062 21988 11860 46096 33984 8077 4035 130258 118684 10064 1510 37576 34662 2425 489 15999 10808 3908 1283 OTHER EXPENSES 85556 25510 57233 2813 BAD DEBT EXPENSE 3182 3182 7885872 5994868 1288975 602029 744372 325814 2420206 199187 1395406 40411 38572 0 36391 1681280 1483412 3170 1470 6359808 2009883 439416 89740 10000 285511 449416 375251 X 3304555 1634632 2605837 0 5910392 1634632 6359808 2009883 X -4370294 99594 -5060 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 3773840 5094297 5208004 6751234 3230400 24057775 3773840 5094297 5208004 6751234 3230400 24057775 10271327 13786448 5386 3389 130753 181167 98389 419084 2815 6778 20715 22477 4786 57571 24534430 141447 0.56190 0.65930 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 12766 33641 46407 7839465 7885872 544294 136074 0 0 410596 488445 585156 544294 2028491 3042737 52130 140741 174652 46407 413930 102649 122111 146289 136074 507123 760685 23340 78711 47201 12766 162018 0 REFUNDABLE ADVANCES 15000 ACCRUED COSTS EXPECTED TO BE INCURRED IN LIQUIDATION 270511 285511 3677000 99594 79889 179483 3497517 18061 18061 3515578 7981705 79889 28945 108834 7872871 18061 -5060 13001 7885872 PART XII, LINE 4B -
