LED BY THE VERY FAMILIES IMPACTED BY THE COURT SYSTEMS, DE-BUG ORIGINATED "PARTICIPATORY DEFENSE," A COMMUNITY ORGANIZING MODEL FOR YOUTH, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO IMPACT THE OUTCOME OF CASES AND TRANSFORM THE LANDSCAPE OF POWER IN THE COURT SYSTEM. THE PARTICIPATORY DEFENSE FRAMEWORK COMBINES MULTIPLE STRATEGIES INCLUDING CASE ADVOCACY, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT OF YOUTH AND FAMILIES AFFECTED BY THE JUSTICE SYSTEM, AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZING TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT EQUITABLE JUSTICE POLICIES. SINCE 2008, DE-BUG'S PARTICIPATORY DEFENSE ACTIVITIES HAVE RESULTED IN 10,208 YEARS OF "TIME SAVED" POTENTIAL COURT SENTENCES AND INCARCERATION TIME FOR YOUTH AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THE TREMENDOUS POWER OF PARTICIPATORY DEFENSE HAS HELPED REUNITE FAMILIES, BRING LOVED ONES HOME, AND ENABLE YOUTHS TO ATTEND COLLEGE INSTEAD OF SPENDING THEIR TRANSITIONAL YEARS IN PRISON. BECAUSE DE-BUG'S ORGANIZATIONAL COMPASS HAS ALWAYS BEEN GUIDED BY THE ONES MOST AFFECTED BY THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, THEIR ORGANIZING CAMPAIGNS HAVE BEEN LED, CHAMPIONED, AND WON BY THE VERY FAMILIES TOUCHED BY THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. THROUGH THE LEADERSHIP OF DE-BUG FAMILIES, THEY HAVE ACHIEVED CHANGES IN POLICING PRACTICES, CHARGING OF GANG ENHANCEMENTS, SEPARATION OF IMMIGRATION AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE POLICIES, AND IMPROVEMENTS OF CONDITIONS IN DETENTION. DE-BUG HAS EXPANDED ITS PARTICIPATORY DEFENSE NETWORK FROM 11 HUBS TO NOW OVER 40, ALL TRAINED IN THE PRINCIPLES, STRATEGIES, AND TACTICS OF PARTICIPATORY DEFENSE. ON ANY GIVEN DAY OF THE WEEK, THERE IS A PARTICIPATORY DEFENSE MEETING HAPPENING AROUND THE COUNTRY, WHERE FAMILIES ARE SUPPORTING EACH OTHER TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THE CRIMINAL, JUVENILE, AND IMMIGRATION SYSTEMS THAT THREATEN TO TEAR FAMILIES APART. AND THEY ARE WINNING, KEEPING FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES WHOLE WHILE FUELING A GROUND UP MOVEMENT TO END MASS INCARCERATION. 745784 93594 6573 COMMUNITY ORGANIZING:DE-BUG'S COMMUNITY ORGANIZING WORK IS AN EXPRESSION OF OUR YOUTH AND FAMILIES' DIRECTIONS, AND OFTEN WHERE OUR STORYTELLING WORK IS APPLIED. THE PARTICIPANTS COME IN THE FORM OF GOAL-ORIENTED CAMPAIGNS AIMED AT MAKING SYSTEM-WIDE CHANGES THAT CAN MEASURABLY CHANGE THE LIVES OF THOSE WITHIN DE-BUG AS WELL AS THE LARGER COMMUNITY. THEIR CAMPAIGNS HAVE BEEN LOCAL POLICY-SETTING, STATE LEGISLATION, AND MOVING THE NATIONAL POLITICAL LANDSCAPE. LED BY YOUTH AND FAMILIES MOST DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE ISSUES THEY ADDRESS, THEY HAVE CAMPAIGNS TO:PUSH FOR ALTERNATIVES TO INCARCERATION AND DETENTION THAT PRIORITIZE REHABILITATION, SERVICES, PROGRAMS AND COUNSELING.PUSH FOR PROTECTIONS FOR TENANTS FROM UNJUST EVICTIONS.CALL FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCOUNTABILITY AND STOP POLICE KILLINGS.CHALLENGE RACIST CRIMINAL JUSTICE POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT FUEL MASS INCARCERATION. 248595 3265 MEDIA AND STORYTELLING:DE-BUG BELIEVES STORYTELLING AND MEDIA CREATION ARE VEHICLES FOR INDIVIDUAL TRANSFORMATION AND CAN SHAPE THE WAY ISSUES AND MOMENTS ARE UNDERSTOOD, CONCEPTUALIZED, AND IMAGINED BY THE LARGER PUBLIC.

AND THOUGH OUR MEDIA PRODUCTS ARE DELIVERED THROUGH NUMEROUS FORMS (SUCH AS ARTICLES, VIDEOS, BOOKS, MUSIC, ART, AND DESIGN), DE-BUG'S STORYTELLING IS DRIVEN BY A GUIDING PRINCIPLE THAT THOSE MOST PROXIMATE TO THE ISSUE CAN SHARE THE MOST POWERFUL, CAPTIVATING, AND INSIGHTFUL STORY. 2481798 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 34 0 1 34 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 CA X X CHARISSE DOMINGO 4089714965 701 LENZEN AVENUE SAN JOSE CA 95126 RAJ JAYADEV EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 80273 0 9709 BLANCA BOSQUEZ CHAIRMAN 5.00 X X 0 0 0 SHANA WHITE SECRETARY 5.00 X X 0 0 0 REGINA CARDENAS TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 ISABEL GONZALEZ BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 ANNA TURNER BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 80273 0 9709 0 0 0 0 0 4140264 4140264 COMMUNITY ORGANIZING 900099 6573 6573 6573 15599 15599 4162436 6573 0 15599 351973 351973 151508 151508 80273 72245 1606 6422 1140647 1106629 28375 5643 298672 289659 3048 5965 107602 104258 2454 890 5200 5200 25238 25238 38289 38289 60159 58419 570 1170 47501 42559 988 3954 212259 211524 735 3603 3603 GUEST RELATIONS 45932 45932 2568856 2481798 62279 24779 77896 102345 2179513 2524872 0 1350000 17544 18045 162342 157198 8748 5144 97511 52506 2381212 4052912 60483 53065 0 130000 100746 56284 161229 239349 X 1489830 1796166 730153 2017397 2219983 3813563 2381212 4052912 1593580 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1241396 1947076 1660948 2207923 4140264 11197607 1241396 1947076 1660948 2207923 4140264 11197607 11197607 2983 1713 1175 3713 15599 25183 11222790 1353726 0.99780 0.99850 X SCHEDULE A, PAGE 2, PART II, SECTION A & B THE PREVIOUS FILINGS HAVE BEEN RESTATED CONSISTENT WITH THE IRS INSTRUCTIONS.
