Through direct outreach and trainings,we develop organizers both inside and outside of prisons, and identify our members' top priorities to reduce prison populations and increase the human rights of those currently incarcerated. We envision a California with healthy and economically empowered communities, free from mass criminalization. false false 838534 79810 12146 Inside-Outside Organizing: Initiate Justice has an inside-outside strategy where we prioritize organizing people directly impacted by incarceration, inside and outside prison walls. Our inside organizing takes place in the prison visiting rooms, in front of state prisons, and inside prisons through workshops, mailings, and in-person or phone training. Our outside organizing occurs through membership meetings and member committees that meet monthly with participants from around CA. We keep our community informed on the latest changes to California laws and prison policies that will affect them; in 2022, we sent 179,366 newsletters to our 46,000+ incarcerated members and 3,088 newsletters to our 300+ inside organizers. We also launched "Abolition is for Everybody Podcast," which hosts conversations led by our system-impacted co-hosts. These conversations explore the history, futures, obstacles, and joys of abolition. The podcast intends to connect the day-to-day legislative work of Initiate Justice with larger abolitionist theory and to engage new audiences in a way that allows them to lead and participate in meaningful conversations about prison reform and abolition. This project is also intended to be a resource for our primary and system-impacted audiences to help them shift the culture of punishment into a culture of care. 211325 Initiate Justice gathers policy priorities and bill ideas from our incarcerated members and organizers that guide our policy goals and culture change work that is necessary to educate the public and change the policy landscape around incarceration in California. We create guides, public educations materials, and offer training on how the public policy process works and how to create, support, and implement state policy. In 2022, we successfully passed AB 256 (Kalra), AB 2167 (Kalra), AB 2195 (Jones-Sawyer), and SB 1106 (Wiener). 97781 The Institute of Impacted Leaders is a 12-week organizing training and leadership development program designed for people directly impacted by mass incarceration. Each cohort trains between 20-25 people on community organizing principles, political education materials, and training on how the California legislative process works so that graduates are empowered to join Initiate Justices work or lead their own campaigns in their communities. By the end of 2022, the Institute has graduated 280 people across Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, Fresno, San Diego, Bakersfield, Santa Barbara, San Jose, Orange County, Long Beach, and the Inland Empire. 1147640 true true false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 11 0 true 14 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false CA X X THE ORGANIZATION 5622704169 742 S Hill Street Ste 702 LOS ANGELES CA 90014 Taina Vargas Pres. & Bd Mbr 40.00 0.00 X X 66404 0 0 Nathaniel James Doernberg Compliance Mngr 25.00 0.00 X X 26653 0 0 Zakiya Prince Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mireya Gonzalez Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathyn Barber Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rahsaan Thomas Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jay Hockley Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 93057 0 false false false 0 1979342 1979342 Program Service Revenue 541100 12146 12146 12146 3256 3256 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Miscellaneous Revenue 900099 933 933 933 1995677 16335 54810 54810 25000 25000 0 0 93057 71608 21449 0 756620 582220 174400 0 190031 136786 53245 68352 52843 15509 0 0 5980 5980 0 0 0 38613 31803 6810 0 7791 2256 5535 10355 1048 9307 0 63671 47753 15918 6391 5633 758 0 0 0 0 0 6338 6338 Program Printing 88316 88316 Program Mailing 25626 25626 Program Supplies 14196 14196 Miscellaneous Expenses 9281 3784 5497 6627 3958 2669 1471055 1147640 323415 0 108689 70734 873295 1026433 0 650000 1108715 0 0 0 0 10915 11089 0 0 0 0 0 10445 10685 1653344 2227656 4409 35973 14308 32434 18717 68407 X 1634627 1037133 1122116 1634627 2159249 1653344 2227656 524622 X false false false X 24872 754990 1401528 1911758 1979342 6072490 0 0 24872 754990 1401528 1911758 1979342 6072490 0 6072490 147 1735 1556 3256 6694 0 1917 1987 993 4897 6084081 12146 0.99810 0.99820 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 4001 2369 6370 1464685 1471055 222106 55527 false 154484 210176 222106 586766 880149 16755 6370 23125 38621 52544 55527 146692 220038 9767 7998 4001 21766 Accrued retirement payable 3050 ACCRUED VACATION 11007 BSB Credit Cards 6060 Employee Withholding Payable 11514 Other Current Liabilities 803 32434 true Initiate Justice Action C/O 742 S Hill Street Ste 702 Los Angeles CA 90014 872292404 47500 0 contributions/grants Repeal Reunite Reinvest CA PO Box 35867 Los Angeles CA 90035 872751159 6560 0 contributions/grants 0 2 stipend grants for graduates 50 25000 Additional Supplemental Information Grants Given to Organizations:Womens Center Youth & Family (EIN: 94-2341360)$150.00Mass Liberation (EIN: 84-1962574 )$350.00Root & Rebound (EIN: 46-3876220)$250.00Repeal, Reunite, Reinvest California (EIN: 87-2751159)$6,560.00Initiate Justice Action (EIN: 87-2292404)$47,500.00 Grants Given to Individuals:$25,000 in graduation stipend for graduates of our Institute of Impacted Leaders program (50 individuals x 500) Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The tax return is prepared by an outside accounting firm.
