Our direct-client representation work has grown significantly in 2023 with the addition of a Litigation Director and two new staff attorneys, all recently joining our office from public defense offices where they developed extensive trial and litigation skills. In August our client Evaristo Junior Salas was exonerated after going to prison at the age of 14 and serving 27 years of incarceration for a crime he did not commit. We worked on his case for nearly 5 years. We are innovating new pro bono opportunities to expand our impact and serve more clients. 229862 2470 EDUCATION & POLICY REFORM. Our engagement with public defenders and the defense bar is expanding to provide resources at the trial stage, with hope to prevent more wrongful convictions before they happen. Directors Zarowsky and Marlow presented at a state-wide Public Defender training. Our legislative advocacy work included coordinated background presentations by law enforcement experts on the use of deception during interrogations, testimony during bill hearings, and supporting other advocates in their policy priorities by providing the innocence perspective on the issues. We wrote and filed multiple amicus briefs in state and federal court to educate the judiciary on the major contributing factors to wrongful convictions. 98513 POST-RELEASE CLIENT SUPPORT. We provided shoulder-to-shoulder support to Evaristo Junior Salas following his release, including coordinating his travel to events and speaking engagements in Seattle throughout the remainder of 2023. We continued to support Randy Henderson who is facing a possible retrial for the crime of which he was wrongly convicted. Along with our two directly impacted board members, we are developing a renewed approach to post-release support in light of our experience in this area over the past three years. 656750 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true 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 false false false false false true 8 0 true 13 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X KIM CRONINLARA ZAROWSKY 2067399333 92 LENORA ST SEATTLE WA 98121 LARA ZAROWSKY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 55.00 0.00 X 143600 0 0 DAVID OWENS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HAIM SHARIF BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LESTER GRIFFIN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LA ROND BAKER VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ASHLEY OCONNOR MCCREADY BOARD PRESIDENT 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KIM CRONIN BOARD TREASURER 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 143600 0 0 1 false false false 105764 774246 4050 880010 281 281 23188 105764 86797 -63609 -63609 816682 0 0 -63328 2470 2470 143600 80416 33027 30157 512233 425420 63024 23789 21870 17867 1730 2273 88421 33685 48170 6566 58253 45702 7935 4616 129 129 13962 13962 15249 1419 5330 8500 11322 11322 14494 1490 13004 32503 17171 15332 52897 2069 50828 47239 15493 27941 3805 77 77 1538 1538 12012 34 10996 982 DUES FEES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 18938 11559 4081 3298 LITIGATION SETTLEMENT COSTS 38327 38327 DONOR APPRECIATION 1591 1591 IN-KIND EXPENSES 4050 4050 1464 1826 -362 1092639 656750 346262 89627 314281 16537 200185 200466 91303 168553 2668 15032 7690 4564 4664 3126 11000 7000 624101 410714 10888 29102 80784 29102 91672 X 594999 319042 594999 319042 624101 410714 -275957 0 X false false false X 182854 520535 684965 721210 903198 3012762 182854 520535 684965 721210 903198 3012762 786208 2226554 180 281 461 3013223 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED true true false false false false true 10 false true 12 22 false 7690 4564 3126 3126 PAYROLL LIABILITIES 41957 OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES 38827 80784 EVENT 128952 105764 23188 34789 23188 28820 128952 105764 23188 34789 23188 28820 86797 -63609 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 Once the worksheet is complete and the 990 is prepared, the Executive Director reviews the documents and shares them with the Board Treasurer for an independent review.
