THIS AMOUNT IS INCLUDED IN THEIR REPORTABLE COMPENSATION. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 STANDING IN OUR WAY IS THE HALF-CENTURY-LONG WAR ON DRUGS. IT IS REALLY A WAR ON PEOPLE - BY DESIGN IT TARGETS THOSE WHO ARE BLACK, LATINX, INDIGENOUS, AND CASH-POOR. THE DRUG POLICY ALLIANCE AIMS TO END THE DRUG WAR, REPAIR ITS HARMS, AND BUILD A BETTER APPROACH TO DRUGS GROUNDED IN SCIENCE, COMPASSION, HEALTH, EQUITY, AND HUMAN RIGHTS. WE ENVISION A JUST SOCIETY IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER PUNISHED FOR WHAT THEY PUT INTO THEIR OWN BODIES, AND IN WHICH THE FEARS, PREJUDICES, AND PUNITIVE PROHIBITIONS OF TODAY ARE NO MORE. SINCE 2000, WE HAVE ADVOCATED AT EVERY LEVEL TO CHANGE LAWS, ADVANCE JUSTICE, AND SAVE LIVES. THE POLICIES WE HAVE INFLUENCED HAVE IMPROVED THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, BY SHRINKING THE SCOPE OF THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM TO REDUCE ARRESTS AND INCARCERATION, AND BY EXPANDING HEALTH SERVICES FOR THOSE WHO USE DRUGS. THE DRUG POLICY ALLIANCE HAS BEEN AT THE VANGUARD OF EVERY MAJOR POSITIVE EVOLUTION IN DRUG POLICY IN THE UNITED STATES IN THE PAST TWO DECADES. MANY OF OUR STATE-LEVEL VICTORIES WERE THE FIRST OF THEIR KIND, FROM ENDING MARIJUANA PROHIBITION, TO DECRIMINALIZING POSSESSION OF ALL DRUGS, TO EXPANDING ACCESS TO OPIOID OVERDOSE REVERSAL MEDICATION, AND MORE. HERE IS HOW WE MANAGE TO MAKE AN IMPACT THAT FAR EXCEEDS OUR SIZE: 1) LEADING CAMPAIGNS. WE DEVELOP AND LEAD INNOVATIVE CAMPAIGNS TO ENACT LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL REFORMS BY CRAFTING POLICY PROPOSALS GROUNDED IN EVIDENCE, DEVELOPING POLITICAL AND COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGIES, EDUCATING AND PERSUADING POLICYMAKERS, BUILDING COALITIONS, AND MOBILIZING OUR SUPPORTERS. 2) SUPPORTING GRASSROOTS LEADERSHIP. WE SUPPORT CAMPAIGNS LED BY OUR ALLIES SHARING OUR EXPERTISE IN POLICY DRAFTING, DATA AND RESEARCH, POLITICAL STRATEGY AND ADVOCACY, AND MESSAGE DEVELOPMENT, AND CONNECTIONS TO FUNDING AND OTHER MOVEMENT LEADERS. WE ALSO SUPPORT LOCAL GROUPS IMPLEMENTING OUR HARD-WON REFORMS, WHILE WE MONITOR THE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES INVOLVED. 3) SHAPING THE CONVERSATION. WE SHIFT NARRATIVES THAT PERPETUATE HARM AND STIGMA, LEVERAGE COMMUNICATIONS TO ADVANCE SPECIFIC CAMPAIGNS, AND PRODUCE CUTTING-EDGE ANALYSES AND IDEAS ABOUT DRUG POLICY TO EXPAND THE KNOWLEDGE BASE AND INFORM OUR AGENDA. 4) BUILDING THE MOVEMENT. WE SERVE AS THE CULTIVATOR AND CONVENER OF THE DRUG POLICY REFORM MOVEMENT, AND AS A CAPACITY-BUILDING HUB FOR OTHER JUSTICE MOVEMENTS WHOSE ISSUES ARE HARMED BY THE DRUG WAR. WE FORGE DEEP AND LASTING PARTNERSHIPS WITH ALLIED ORGANIZATIONS, AND SEEK TO BUILD POWER AMONG GROUPS ORGANIZING WITH PEOPLE WHO USE DRUGS AND THOSE MOST IMPACTED BY RACIST DRUG POLICIES.

AT THE REQUEST OF THE AUDIT & FINANCE COMMITTEE, THE INTERESTED PERSON MAY PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRANSACTION PRIOR TO THE DELIBERATIONS OF THE BOARD.
