WE STRIVE TO CREATE THAT WORLD BY DISMANTLING LEGAL, STRUCTURAL, AND CULTURAL BARRIERS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO GENDER INEQUITY. OUR ORGANIZATION SELECTS CASES IN MINNESOTA AND NORTH DAKOTA BASED ON THEIR POTENTIAL EITHER TO AFFECT BROAD POPULATIONS IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS AS OUR CLIENTS OR TO SET A POWERFUL LEGAL PRECEDENT ON PARTICULAR CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUES. OUR IMPACT LITIGATION HAS STRENGTHENED PROTECTIONS FOR TRANSGENDER PEOPLE, WOMEN, AND ANYONE WHO EXPERIENCES GENDER DISCRIMINATION AND VIOLENCE.GENDER JUSTICE ALSO WORKS TO ADVOCATE FOR POLICIES THAT PROMOTE GENDER EQUITY AND ENGAGES IN PUBLIC EDUCATION TO HELP PEOPLE NOT ONLY KNOW THEIR RIGHTS, BUT ALSO FEEL EMPOWERED AND SUPPORTED BY CULTURAL SHIFTS TO REALIZE THOSE RIGHTS. OUR ORGANIZATION TAKES AN INTERSECTIONAL AND COALITION BUILDING APPROACH TO ACCOMPLISH THIS WORK. OUR UNRESTRICT MINNESOTA PROGRAM IS AN EXAMPLE OF THIS AND HAS CONNECTED WITH THOUSANDS OF MINNESOTANS TO EDUCATE AND ENGAGE THEM ABOUT THE RESTRICTIONS AROUND ABORTION AND REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM. WE ALSO CONVENE THE COALITION TO PASS AN EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT TO THE MINNESOTA CONSTITUTION. 2451984 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 41 0 1 28 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 21 21 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MN X X MEGAN PETERSON 6517892090 663 UNIVERSITY AVE W 200 ST PAUL MN 55104 HETAL DALAL BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 EJ DEAN TREASURER 2024 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JOY PARKER SECRETARY 2025 2.00 X X 0 0 0 PRAIRIE ROSE SEMINOLE SECRETARY 2024; VICE CHAIR 2025 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MELISSA HARL BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL ANDERSON TREASURER 2025 2.00 X X 0 0 0 SARAH CLYNE BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 ELINA CASTILLO JIMNEZ BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 M BOULETTE BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 JONI THOME BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 AMANDA BARTSCHENFELD BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 SUMMRA SHARIFF BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DEE SENARATNA BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 KORI REDEPPENING BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 JAMIE BERNARD BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 WINTANA MELEKIN VICE CHAIR 2024 2.00 X X 0 0 0 NICOLE MOEN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 BINTA KANTEH BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 TOM FIEBIGER BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 CB BAGA BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 ANN TOBIN CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 MEGAN PETERSON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 151860 0 14430 TANA HARGEST DEPUTY DIRECTOR 40.00 X 155434 0 16035 JESS BRAVERMAN LEGAL DIRECTOR 40.00 X 113260 0 11952 CHRISTINA SAMBOR NORTH DAKOTA STATE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 101574 0 26546 522128 0 68963 4 0 1 0 0 69830 2490948 2560778 IMPACT LITIGATION 541100 118041 118041 OTHER PROGRAM INCOME 900099 3470 3470 121511 56749 56749 33820 69830 111594 -77774 -77774 2661264 121511 0 -21025 X 168518 135391 16184 16943 1596881 1285532 150475 160874 52211 42031 4920 5260 168621 130491 21800 16330 141254 113714 13310 14230 130553 105099 12302 13152 43710 43710 677511 366034 220097 91380 65837 54232 300 11305 45369 12852 7238 25279 100827 61588 31532 7707 62852 24754 35000 3098 72770 22536 46834 3400 8600 2635 5965 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 144223 30334 88435 25454 PROGRAM EXPENSES 110605 21051 1421 88133 BANK AND FILING FEES 44157 6838 37319 MISC EXPENSES 16393 16393 -111594 -111594 3539298 2451984 679044 408270 2824533 2497686 200860 0 1131921 509960 195640 220588 38067 38220 50848 29070 32622 21778 68034 33337 4491677 3321569 316049 66992 62334 19317 378383 86309 X 2959404 2059201 1153890 1176059 4113294 3235260 4491677 3321569 -878034 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 2246257 4361357 2801821 2711616 2560778 14681829 2246257 4361357 2801821 2711616 2560778 14681829 2128111 12553718 25741 56749 82490 33820 33820 14798139 1243352 0.84830 0.77150 X SCHEDULE A, PART II THE ORGANIZATION HAD A CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PERIOD AND FILED A SHORT YEAR RETURN FOR THE PERIOD 1/1/2024 TO 6/30/2024.
