WHEN POLICY OR PRACTICE FAILS TO LIVE UP TO THE VALUES SET FORTH IN OUR CONSTITUTION, LITIGATION PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO RIGHT THE WRONGS EXPERIENCED BY OUR CLIENTS AND TO REFORM THE SYSTEMS THAT CAUSED THE HARM.WE PRIORITIZE CASES IN THE AREAS OF VOTING RIGHTS, JUVENILE JUSTICE, FREE SPEECH, AND LGBTQ EQUALITY. IN 2023, WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING SOUTH CAROLINA'S DISTURBING SCHOOL LAWS STRUCK DOWN AS UNCONSTITUTIONAL, REAFFIRMING THAT SUBJECTING STUDENTS TO HARSH CRIMINAL PENALTIES INTERFERES WITH THEIR FUTURE IN EDUCATION AND CONTRIBUTES TO RACIAL DISPARITIES. 195183 COMMUNICATIONS AND PUBLIC EDUCATION: OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM EDUCATES THE PUBLIC ABOUT CIVIL RIGHTS AND CIVIL LIBERTIES. WE TELL THE STORY OF SOUTH CAROLINIANS THOSE WHOSE RIGHTS HAVE BEEN VIOLATED AND THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR CHANGE. WE GROW OUR BASE OF SUPPORTERS BY FIRING UP AND ENERGIZING PEOPLE WHO SHARE OUR VALUES. AND WE PERSUADE THE PUBLIC TO SUPPORT OUR ISSUES.IN 2023, IN HONOR OF BANNED BOOKS WEEK, WE CREATED AND RELEASED A MAP SHOWCASING ALL THE BOOKS THAT WERE CHALLENGES IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS AROUND THE STATE. THIS MAP DEMONSTRATED THE SCOPE OF EFFORTS TO CENSOR PUBLIC EDUCATION AND EDUCATED ACTIVISTS ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. 183402 ADVOCACY AND ORGANIZING: OUR ADVOCACY TEAM ANALYZES THE IMPACT OF PROPOSED AND EXISTING LEGISLATION ON CIVIL RIGHTS AND CIVIL LIBERTIES AND LOOKS FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO FURTHER OUR MISSION THROUGH POSITIVE POLICY CHANGES. THEN WE ADVOCATE FOR GOOD LAWS AND STAND IN THE WAY OF BAD POLICY. WHEN WE'RE ADVOCATING, WE ORGANIZE AND MOBILIZE ACTIVISTS WHO LEAD EFFORTS IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND ENGAGE IN STATEWIDE CAMPAIGNS.IN 2023, WE SUCCESSFULLY STOPPED STATE LAWMAKERS FROM BANNING HEALTHCARE FOR TRANSGENDER SOUTH CAROLINIANS. WE CONDUCTED A CONSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE POLICY, EDUCATED TRANS PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES ABOUT THE HARM IT WOULD CAUSE, AND ELEVATED THE VOICES OF THOSE WHO OPPOSED THIS HARMFUL POLICY. 101537 101537 757205 1 1 0 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 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 14 0 1 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 SC X JACE WOODRUM 8038283161 912 LADY ST SUITE 301 COLUMBIA SC 29201 MICHELLE MAPP ADVOCACY DIRECTOR 40.00 X 108743 0 20914 STUART ANDREWS PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JASON DARBY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HOLLIS FRANCE VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CAROLE GUNTER SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ANN HERMMANN-NEHDI AFFILIATE EQUITY OFFICER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ARACELI HERNANDEZ-LAROCHE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NAN JOHNSTON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALISON MCLETCHIE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PRASHANT PRABHU DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NINA RICHARDS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANNE TROMSNESS TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DANIELLE ZIFF DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JACE WOODRUM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 141652 0 16460 250395 0 37374 2 0 1 0 0 1527012 264549 1791561 6571 6571 COURT & ATTORNEY FEES 900099 75698 75698 OTHER MISCELLANEOUS RE 900099 1750 1750 77448 1875580 77448 0 6571 287768 176863 51884 59021 394917 242708 71208 81001 27553 13157 9723 4673 120996 67435 44741 8820 50232 32120 7466 10646 91435 53460 18525 19450 10200 10200 68541 43644 9909 14988 3364 3197 167 30028 19506 7442 3080 28882 18391 4175 6316 41180 24077 8343 8760 50629 25138 19913 5578 7119 7119 PROGRAMMATIC COSTS 37176 37176 LEASE AMORT & INTEREST 4070 4070 TRAINING AND PROFESSION 880 380 500 MISCELLANEOUS -62 -47 -10 -5 1254908 757205 265175 232528 1346069 1662974 209673 237731 374174 687012 21325 5841 11104 37843 273317 1973600 2893463 61881 336462 0 557 61881 337019 X 1622720 1841235 288999 715209 1911719 2556444 1973600 2893463 620672 24707 -654 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 684540 1148100 667365 1246717 1791561 5538283 684540 1148100 667365 1246717 1791561 5538283 5538283 6137 3101 9327 5369 6571 30505 5568788 0.99450 0.99310 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 RIGHT OF USE ASSETS 270817 DEPOSITS 2500 273317 LEASE LIABILITIES 557 557 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 JACE WOODRUM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 141652 0 0 0 0 0 7780 0 8680 0 158112 0 0 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 1A THE PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT, SECRETARY, TREASURER, AND EQUITY OFFICER MAKE UP THE BOARD'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
