All elections, whether at the federal, state, or local level, are disproportionately affected by those with the most money to spend on campaign contributions. In judicial elections, moneyed interests are working to stack the courts with judges who support their political or commercial interests. Meanwhile, more and more Americans are being excluded from participation by growing limits on voter access and voting rights. To address this, we build groups capacity to shift the narrative -from problems to solutions, from cynicism to action-reach new audiences, make new allies, and strengthen the diversity and impact of a growing movement including members of the emerging New American Majority-communities of color, women, and young people-Democrats and Republicans alike. 789245 0 345346 Rights and Inclusion Collaborative (SRC) Our Rights and Inclusion team works with Muslim, Arab, Sikh, and South Asian American communities and leaders across the country, with allies opposing hate-crimes and anti-Muslim prejudice,and with U.S.-based Muslim and non-Muslim allies promoting cultural equity and inclusion in the arts. With the support of our partners, ReThink Media launched a Speakers Bureau, a multi-year effort to address the lack of representation of Muslim, Arab, and South Asian American spokespeople in the media. To-date we have trained hundreds of community members and leaders across the country with expertise on a broad range of issues beyond just Islam, Muslims, or nations of origin in subjects as varied as the arts, national security, healthcare, domestic violence, and pop culture. And we have provided hands-on media outreach support to connect this growing network of spokespeople to journalists, producers, and bookers across the country. 537381 0 71776 Peace and Security Collaborative (PSC) works with the nation's foremost leaders and experts, advocating solutions to some of the most complex and challenging national security issues of the 21st century. These include US policy toward Iran, securing nuclear material around the world, reducing the global nuclear arsenal, and trimming excessive Pentagon spending. In addition, the Organization supports the work of groups addressing conflict prevention, working toward more accountability and transparency for the proliferation and military use of drones and targeting killing, and in support of curtailing the International Arms Trade. 0 0 0 2464324 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 9 0 1 29 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA X Roger Cox 5108455789 2039 Shattuck Ave Suite 401 Berkeley CA 94704 Lynn Fahselt Executive Director 40 0 X X X 136658 0 20500 Peter Ferenbach Director of Campaigns 40 0 X 132068 0 14000 Roger Cox CFO 40 0 X X 105487 0 16000 Todd Kolze Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Reva Patwardhan Board Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Chris Dunn Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Kathy Armstrong Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sapreet Kaur Saluja Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sahar Aziz Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Mark Crain Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Naureen Shah Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 374213 0 50500 3 0 1 0 0 0 18141 0 0 0 2692285 0 2710426 Consulting Fees 813990 372975 372975 0 0 0 0 0 0 372975 8112 0 0 8112 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 109881 0 0 109881 109881 3201394 372975 0 117993 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 468133 255234 78565 134334 0 0 0 0 1246563 1175111 66296 5156 48416 39037 5160 4219 127314 116609 10091 614 140023 117980 9373 12670 0 0 0 0 264 72 184 8 46238 0 46238 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 103265 98325 4127 813 10000 9999 1 0 51095 57555 -10599 4139 25155 21363 1531 2261 0 0 0 0 124606 110372 12380 1854 147937 149922 -4720 2735 0 0 0 0 42074 39236 2414 424 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2297 0 2297 0 Program Outreach / Survey Expenses 276370 273509 2861 0 2859750 2464324 226199 169227 1749693 2332837 0 0 1496523 1365005 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 74461 64190 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1250 1250 3321927 3763282 187530 246906 0 0 0 11290 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1743 187530 259939 X 3134397 3503343 0 0 3134397 3503343 3321927 3763282 341644 27302 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2921770 2472708 1407822 2552307 2710426 12065033 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2921770 2472708 1407822 2552307 2710426 12065033 3063878 9001155 0 0 0 0 8112 8112 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 109881 109881 12183026 916204 0.73883 0.74379 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Reimbursable expenses RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 Deferred Rent 1743 1743 X 3228696 27302 0 0 0 27302 3201394 0 0 0 3201394 2859750 0 0 0 0 0 2859750 0 0 0 2859750 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Organization is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from federal income tax on income under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and from state franchise tax under California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701 (d). However, income from activities not directly related to its tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. There was no tax on unrelated business income for year ended December 31, 2019. The Organization adopted Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Tax guidance FASB ASC 740 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Accordingly, the Organization recognizes the effect of income tax positions only when those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. The Organization believes the adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Organization's financial statements.
