Our legal strategy aims to broaden conceptions of present-day discrimination to include unconscious and structural bias by using social science, structural analysis, and real-life experience. Currently, EJS targets its advocacy efforts on school discipline, special education, and the school-to-prison pipeline, race-conscious remedies, and inequities in the criminal justice system. EJS also engages the arts and artists in creating work and performances that allow wider audiences to understand social justice issues and struggles. false false 829315 3342 433824 Law and Policy: Challenging Obstacles to Equal Opportunity in Law and Policy. We continue to articulate how implicit bias and structural racism operate in our society and why the "intent doctrine" serves as an obstacle to racial justice. We continued to train judges and lawyers in cutting edge theories of discrimination law by convening social scientists and legal scholars in workshops.Over the years, we defended equal opportunity programs in public institutions filing amicus briefs or intervening directly in current litigation. 295280 Communications Strategy: Heightening Racial consciousness in the Media and Public Discourse. We organized and facilitated a number of presentations to advance a national, proactive agenda for equal opportunity. Our president, Eva Paterson, continued to be in demand as both a speaker and panelist at national convenings of legal and other organizations. 1124595 true true false true false false false false false false true false false true false true true false false 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 false false true 14 0 true 8 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X Ragini Singh 4152888700 1939 Harrison Ste 818 Oakland CA 94612 Lisa Holder President 35.00 0.00 X X 220000 0 35016 Mona Tawatao Legal Director 35.00 0.00 148153 0 23681 Anna Basallaje COO 35.00 0.00 X 140039 0 9572 Keith Kamisugi Comms Director 35.00 0.00 110307 0 17436 Michael Harris Board Chair 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 John Bonifaz Secretary/Treas 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Pamela Perkins Dwyer Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Fernando Gaytan Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kelly M Dermody Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Raymond Marshall Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Donald K Tamaki Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sheila Warren Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 618499 85705 4 false true false 0 188902 2212778 2401680 Attorney fees & awards 900099 423099 423099 Program fees 900099 10725 10725 433824 52 52 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other income 900099 1800 1800 1800 2837356 433824 1852 X 3342 3342 0 0 0 404628 251956 42674 109998 0 520823 466024 47840 6959 24547 22275 2103 169 49709 37210 5956 6543 64718 50330 6381 8007 0 75 75 50182 50182 0 0 0 151945 122163 10552 19230 425 425 26231 19487 4024 2720 14577 11337 1437 1803 0 117352 91341 11618 14393 17648 17648 0 0 0 0 715 556 70 89 9995 7761 978 1256 Dues, licenses, other fees 15348 11936 1513 1899 Litigation and other 10729 10729 0 1482989 1124595 185328 173066 356034 588350 31107 31154 479850 1214396 0 0 0 0 0 16076 7661 18441 17135 2021 1306 0 0 0 0 229102 192877 1114190 2035744 212545 170252 150000 240520 603065 170252 X 42792 590496 468333 1274996 511125 1865492 1114190 2035744 1354367 X false true X true false X 1457598 2020943 1065025 1516424 2401680 8461670 0 0 1457598 2020943 1065025 1516424 2401680 8461670 2623471 5838199 12 15 52 79 0 44 49 51 1102 1800 3046 8464795 811291 0.68970 0.60770 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 114 57 171 1482818 1482989 223299 55825 false 227363 215728 235477 223299 901867 1352801 161974 171 162145 56841 53932 58869 55825 225467 338201 59050 122 114 59286 18441 17135 1306 1306 Deposits 4320 Tax credit receivable 188557 192877 X 2837356 2837356 2837356 1482989 1482989 1482989 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board have determined that the Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under IRC 501(c)(3) and California RTC 23701(d).
