TO MAKE EVERY VOTE COUNT, WE NEED A SYSTEM THAT IS FREE AND FAIR TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE'S VOICE IS HEARD, INCLUDING THOSE WHO HAVE HAD CONTACT WITH THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM. CLC BELIEVES THAT STATE AND FEDERAL POLICIES SHOULD UNIFORMLY PROTECT THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND PROMOTE VOTER PARTICIPATION ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. THIS CLC PROGRAM, THROUGH LITIGATION, POLICY ANALYSIS, STATE-BASED AND FEDERAL ADVOCACY, AND PUBLIC EDUCATION, SEEKS TO PROTECT THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND EXPAND ACCESS TO THE BALLOT. 2353480 CAMPAIGN FINANCE: THE FIRST AMENDMENT GUARANTEES EVERY AMERICAN THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE FULLY IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS. THE DEPENDENCE OF POLITICAL CANDIDATES ON WEALTHY SPECIAL INTERESTS IS A SERIOUS FLAW IN OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM AND MAKES ELECTED OFFICIALS RESPONSIVE TO THEIR LARGE DONORS RATHER THAN TO THE PUBLIC. THE TREMENDOUS POWER OF SPECIAL INTEREST MONEY IN POLITICS OFTEN DROWNS OUT THE VOICE OF EVERYDAY AMERICANS, THREATENS OUR FIRST AMENDMENT FREEDOMS, AND ERODES THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR ENTIRE DEMOCRACY. TO RESTORE FAIRNESS TO OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM, THIS CLC PROGRAM ADVOCATES FOR PASSING AND ENFORCING STRONG CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORMS THAT HELP GUARANTEE A DEMOCRACY THAT IS BOTH REPRESENTATIVE OF AND RESPONSIVE TO THE PEOPLE. THESE REFORM SOLUTIONS INCLUDE PLACING REASONABLE LIMITS ON FUNDING OF CAMPAIGNS, COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY OF CAMPAIGN SPENDING AND PUBLIC FINANCING OF ELECTIONS. CLC HELPS ENACT SUCH POLICIES AT THE STATE, LOCAL, AND FEDERAL LEVELS, AND WORKS TO ENSURE THAT THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION ENFORCES CURRENT CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS. CLC ALSO DEFENDS LAWS THAT PROMOTE THE FIRST AMENDMENT'S GUARANTEE THAT EVERY AMERICAN HAS THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS. 2450879 COMMUNICATIONS: CLC'S COMMUNICATION PROGRAM SUPPORTS THE OVERALL MISSION OF CLC AND UTILIZES STRATEGIES TO LEVERAGE AND BRAND CLC AS A THOUGHT LEADER, EDUCATOR AND ADVOCATE. THE COMMUNICATION PROGRAM WORKS ACROSS CLC PROGRAM TEAMS TO CREATE AND DISSEMINATE CONTENT, BUILD PROGRAM AUDIENCES, AND SEEK PARTNERSHIP AND COLLABORATION ON IMPORTANT PUBLIC CONVERSATIONS. THIS INCLUDES SUPPORTING CAMPAIGN LEGAL CONVERSATIONS, WHICH EXPLORES COMPLICATED ISSUES IN DEMOCRACY, SHARING STORIES OF VOTERS WHO HAVE FACED BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATING IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS, AND EDUCATING PRESS, PARTNERS AND DONORS ABOUT CLC'S LITIGATION EFFORTS. 776922 ETHICS: ONE OF THE HALLMARKS OF A HEALTHY DEMOCRACY IS PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE INTEGRITY OF DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS. THAT PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IS EARNED THROUGH THE COMMITMENT OF THOSE IN AND WORKING WITH GOVERNMENT TO UPHOLD THE PRINCIPLE THAT PUBLIC SERVICE IS A PUBLIC TRUST. FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO ENACT AND ENFORCE CLEAR ETHICAL GUIDELINES AND LAWS. ONLY THEN, CAN PUBLIC OFFICIALS ADEQUATELY NAVIGATE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS AND BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE WHEN THEY BREAK THE PUBLIC'S TRUST. THIS SYSTEM IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE A HEALTHY DEMOCRACY. THIS CLC PROGRAM PROPOSES SOLUTIONS FOR STRONGER ETHICS AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, AND SERVES AS A GOVERNMENT WATCHDOG, HOLDING ELECTED OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE FOR ETHICS VIOLATIONS. 1760776 REDISTRICTING: DEMOCRACY WORKS BEST WHEN OUR VOTING MAPS ARE FAIRLY DRAWN ON A NONPARTISAN BASIS TO ENSURE THAT AMERICANS CAN PARTICIPATE EQUALLY IN THE ELECTION OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES. UNFORTUNATELY, INCUMBENTS OFTEN RIG THE SYSTEM TO BENEFIT THEMSELVES, THEIR PARTY, AND SPECIAL INTEREST SUPPORTERS, MANIPULATING VOTING MAPS TO DICTATE THE OUTCOME OF ELECTIONS. TWO SOURCES OF DISCRIMINATION IN VOTING MAPS ARE PARTISAN GERRYMANDERING AND ELECTORAL SYSTEMS THAT UNDERREPRESENT PEOPLE OF COLOR. THE RESULT IS DYSFUNCTION, MISTRUST, AND PUBLIC POLICIES THAT IGNORE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. THIS CLC PROGRAM ADVANCES AND SUPPORTS LEGAL CASES THAT ADDRESS REDISTRICTING VIOLATIONS, WORKS ON THE FRONT LINES IN THE FIGHT FOR FAIR REDISTRICTING PRACTICES IN THE STATES, AND CONTINUES TO PROMOTE VOTERS' RIGHTS TO FAIR DISTRICTS NATIONWIDE. 1562010 455961 POLICY: CLC'S POLICY PROGRAM WORKS TO ADVANCE PRO-DEMOCRACY, PRO-VOTER LAWS AND THE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS. CLC BRINGS DECADES OF POLICY AND LEGAL EXPERTISE TO OUR WORK WITH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS AND GRASSROOTS ADVOCATES. WE ARE ENGAGED THROUGH THE ENTIRE LIFE CYCLE OF THE LAW: DEVELOPING POLICY, DRAFTING LEGISLATION AND BALLOT INITIATIVES, AND ENSURING EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION THROUGH ADMINISTRATIVE ADVOCACY. THE POLICY PROGRAM WORKS ACROSS CLC PROGRAM TEAMS TO DEVELOP STRATEGIC ADVOCACY STRATEGIES AND EFFECTIVE PARTNERSHIPS. IN ADVANCE OF THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, THE POLICY PROGRAM IS FOCUSED ON PREVENTING THE THREATS OF ELECTION SABOTAGE. THIS INCLUDES IDENTIFYING STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES TO SHORE UP GAPS IN ELECTION PROCEDURES THROUGH LEGISLATIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE ADVOCACY, AND DEVELOPING ROBUST COALITIONS TO RESPOND TO ATTEMPTS TO MANIPULATE PROCESSES. 905197 OTHER PROGRAMS 5004905 455961 13129971 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 52 0 1 99 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AZ AK CA CO CT DE FL GA HI ID IL IN IA KS KY LA MA MD MA MI MN MS MO MT NE NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC SD TN TX UT VT VA WA WV WI WY DC X X X KAREN GREENWOOD 2027362200 1101 14TH STREET NW NO 400 WASHINGTON DC 20005 TREVOR POTTER PRESIDENT 36.00 0.50 X X 419872 10818 34659 CHAI FELDBLUM SECRETARY 0.50 X X 0 0 0 FAITH GAY TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 STUART M GERSON TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 DEBORAH HELLMAN TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 PAUL KLINGENSTEIN TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 THURGOOD MARSHALL JR TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 MARTHA MINOW TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 NORMAN ORNSTEIN TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 PETER D STAPLE TREASURER 0.50 X X 0 0 0 JESSIE AMUNSON TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 NEIL EGGLESTON TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 DAVID HILLER TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 BEVERLY MARTIN TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 RILY TEMPLE TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 THOMAS SANCHEZ TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 TED SHAW TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 ADAV NOTI EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 39.50 0.50 X 237456 2753 14507 JASON JAFFERY VP, DEVELOPMENT 40.00 X 225656 0 19277 TARA MALLOY SR.
