ERF, partially through grants to related organization WCAN, exceeded our yearly goals by having 18,093 conversations through the door-to-door canvass about our housing, mass liberation health care work. Mass liberation was a key focus of leaders in 2022, with leader led actions against the WA State Clemency Pardons Board, the Pierce County Prosecutor County Court to utilize a law passed in 2020 which created a new procedure for prosecutors to petition a sentencing court to resentence an individual previously convicted already sentenced for a felony if the original sentence no longer serves the interests of justice. Prosecutorial discretion in reducing sentencing is a big step to reduce mass incarceration. To raise awareness of the lack of prosecutors using this new procedure, we organized a direct action in Pierce County against Prosecutor Mary Robnett the County Court. 54 Tacoma based leaders attended the rally. cont. Sched O 137355 82500 LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT. ERF, partially through grants to related organization WCAN, developed more than 50 leaders to take deeper action with their leadership. The majority of these new leaders took multiple actions 3 throughout the year including attending events, leading conversations on issues directly impacting them and bringing community members to outreach events. Five leaders were mobilized to attend Universal Healthcare Cost Transparency Board meetings and the Universal Health Care Commission meetings to bring patients perspectives and experiences to those boards. Three new leaders were engaged to become spokespersons to educate about our healthcare work. In 2022 we surveyed our active leaders about the issues that were important to them and to evaluate the work being done. 147 people responded to the survey and their responses were used to shape the strategic planning process set to begin at the start of 2023. 457850 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false true false true 12 0 true 0 true true false false false false false false false false false false false X 4 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false X Mary Le Nguyen 2063890050 1806 E Yesler Way Seattle WA 98122 Mary Le Nguyen Executive Director 030.00 010.00 X 0 103029 1030 Serena Evans-Satoran Finance Director 012.00 028.00 X 0 69522 6459 Jack Johnson President Board Member 002.00 X X 0 0 0 Deana Knutsen Secretary, Treasurer Board Member 002.00 002.00 X X 0 0 0 Joselito Lopez Board Member 001.00 X 0 0 0 Gina Owens Board Member 001.00 X 0 0 0 172551 7489 1 false false false 1361168 1361168 6824 6824 39637 8000 31637 31637 31637 Rental Income from Related Org-WCAN 900099 40200 40200 40200 1439829 40200 31637 6824 X 275000 275000 0 0 0 0 0 43290 32468 4329 6493 0 11390 8543 1139 1708 4180 3135 418 627 0 0 12150 12150 0 1800 1800 0 32806 25136 7670 0 5920 4412 582 926 6456 5685 83 688 0 33082 25747 5864 1471 3205 3205 0 5596 5596 13723 11665 1784 274 0 3917 3329 510 78 4811 1503 2933 375 Administration Fundraising Services by Related Org 98774 19863 78911 Outreach Contractors 49526 49526 Business Bank fees 13532 660 12872 Organizational Dues Support 2900 2900 0 622058 457850 57985 106223 858914 573897 1312308 1511223 918250 835000 3805 147593 823953 56866 754177 767087 144658 162212 3992112 3997012 6618 4196 369623 350506 38797 25636 415038 380338 X 2227251 2784199 1349823 832475 3577074 3616674 3992112 3997012 X 817771 25618 -803789 X X false true X true false X 587988 1777789 1045687 1541099 1361168 6313731 587988 1777789 1045687 1541099 1361168 6313731 1774570 4539161 11673 8678 12572 4092 6824 43839 24489 30303 22395 28009 28637 133833 6491403 227832 0.69930 0.74770 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 108 656 764 621294 622058 118309 29577 124039 152124 107634 118309 502106 753159 12911 6085 10649 764 30409 31010 38031 26909 29577 125527 188291 11659 1723 1618 108 15108 false 575763 575763 204237 52370 151867 43953 4496 39457 767087 Financial derivatives and other financial products Closely-held equity interests Federal income taxes Payables to related third party 25636 25636 X 1473447 25618 8000 33618 1439829 1439829 630058 8000 8000 622058 622058 X 2 LIABILITY FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS.

Community organizers held an education outreach event attended by 40 people, and held 23 one-on-one meetings with individuals about their loved ones eligibility for resentencing. One organizer served as court reporter for 3 resentencing hearings, and mobilized 13 community members to attend them.
