THIS LAW PROHIBITS ESSENTIAL MEDICAL CARE BY TARGETING HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND THREATENING THEM WITH LOSS OF LICENSURE IF THEY PROVIDE THAT CARE TO MINORS. THE LAW VIOLATES THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF PARENTS TO DIRECT THE UPBRINGING OF THEIR CHILDREN.DURING FY25, THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES DECIDED TO REVIEW THE SIXTH CIRCUIT'S DECISION PREVENTING TRANSGENDER YOUTH FROM RECEIVING NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE IN TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY. WHILE THE COURT DECIDED NOT TO REVIEW THE KENTUCKY LAW SPECIFICALLY, THE DOJ'S FAILED CHALLENGE TO THE SIXTH CIRCUIT'S DECISION (ANNOUNCED DURING FY26) MEANS OUR CASE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. DESPITE THE RULING ON GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE, WE WILL NEVER STOP FIGHTING FOR TRANSGENDER KENTUCKIANS' RIGHT TO EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW AND FREEDOM TO ACCESS THE THINGS THEY NEED TO LIVE FULL AND AUTHENTIC LIVES. 461999 CONTINUED FALLOUT FROM THE MOVEMENT FOR JUSTICE FOR BREONNA TAYLOR:LITIGATION RELATED TO THE 2020 PROTESTS FOR JUSTICE FOR BREONNA TAYLOR IS STILL ON THE DOCKET. ACLU-KY REPRESENTS PROTESTORS WHOSE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS WERE VIOLATED WHILE THEY PEACEFULLY PROTESTED. THE LOUISVILLE METRO POLICE DEPARTMENT (LMPD) USED TEAR GAS, RUBBER BULLETS, AND OTHER CROWD CONTROL WEAPONRY DURING THE PROTESTS, CAUSING INJURIES. OUR LAWSUIT SEEKS LMPD POLICY CHANGE, AS WELL AS DAMAGES FOR OUR CLIENTS.ADJACENT TO THIS LITIGATION, THE LEGAL TEAM PARTNERED WITH 14 OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO FILE A BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF THE CONSENT DECREE AGREEMENT THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE AND LMPD REACHED WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. AFTER A YEARS-LONG INVESTIGATION, THE DOJ FOUND LMPD HAS A PATTERN/PRACTICE OF VIOLATING THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF BLACK AND BROWN LOUISVILLIANS. A NEW FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION HAS LEFT THE CONSENT DECREE IN LIMBO. WE CONTINUE OUR WORK IN FY26 TO DEMAND CITY LEADERS AND LMPD MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CONSENT DECREE WITHOUT A FEDERAL COURT MONITOR. 375873 67382 3565 ADDRESSING JAIL DEATHS/EXPANDING AMNESTY COURT DOCKETS:UNFORTUNATELY, THE JAIL DEATHS CRISIS AT LOUISVILLE METRO DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS CONTINUED WITH MORE LIVES LOST IN THE FACILITY DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR. ACLU-KY CONTINUES LEADING A COMMUNITY COALITION CALLED THE COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS TO END DEATHS AT LMDC. QUARTERLY MEETINGS WITH DIRECTOR COLLINS AND MONITORING OF THE NEW HEALTHCARE CONTRACT ARE KEY ACTIVITIES, AND OUR EFFORTS TO SLOW THE FLOW OF PEOPLE INTO THE TROUBLED, UNDERSTAFFED FACILITY ARE ONGOING. ALONG WITH ALLIED ORGANIZATIONS AND PARTNERS FROM THE JUSTICE SYSTEM, WE HOSTED ANOTHER AMNESTY COURT DOCKET ACROSS THREE DAYS IN LOUISVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF FOLKS WITH BENCH WARRANTS HANGING OVER THEIR HEADS. 153038 5640 WORKING TO OPERATIONALIZE ORGANIZATION'S STRATEGIC PLAN BY FOCUSING ON KENTUCKIAN'S INALIENABLE RIGHTS. 153038 5640 1178826 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 16 0 1 22 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 21 21 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 KY X THE ORGANIZATION 5025819746 325 W MAIN STREET LOUISVILLE KY 40202 SOHA SAIYED BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 KENDRA HOLMES BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 OMAR SALINAS CHACON PRESIDENT 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ERIN KENNEDY-STARTZMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 JASON CROSBY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 SARAH KATZENMAIER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 CURTIS STAUFFER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 RABBI BEN FREED BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE JOHNSON VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 FRANK BENCOMO-SUAREZ BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 RACHEL STACK BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 B SOFIA CALLEJA SECRETARY 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KEN MILLER TREASURER 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BASEL TOUCHAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 DARRYL DEE PARKER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 TERESA TERI DANIEL BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANELLA WETTER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 TODD JAMES BURGESS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHON MOORE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 FARRAH ALEXANDER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHANICE NELSON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 AMBER DUKE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 30.00 10.00 X 149600 0 22467 CHARLENE BUCKLES DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR 40.00 X 110555 0 7085 COREY SHAPIRO LEGAL DIRECTOR 30.00 10.00 X 122558 0 34843 ANGELA COOPER COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR 30.00 10.00 X 108638 0 16561 491351 0 80956 4 0 1 0 0 17648 762535 1332935 71653 2113118 95563 95563 138690 135606 3084 3084 3084 10852 17648 15011 -4159 -4159 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 3565 3565 3565 2211171 3565 0 94488 73022 73022 163342 33016 112949 17377 960460 633953 94314 232193 56103 37138 5370 13595 74235 48377 8096 17762 88119 52871 15509 19739 28740 2280 26460 118480 118480 10154 10154 195260 114111 78910 2239 26550 25517 462 571 24380 15256 2527 6597 28256 20259 2125 5872 106423 65556 10855 30012 19376 10016 3935 5425 12663 7801 1292 3570 23102 14230 2356 6516 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMEN 30064 14437 12568 3059 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 17839 10135 2168 5536 SPONSORSHIPS 6498 5600 898 MISCELLANEOUS 2179 2179 1382 851 141 390 2066627 1178826 516450 371351 922898 307616 540546 405461 784893 1529547 29126 57686 183440 120807 75296 62633 1567385 1638070 142666 153172 253217 200213 4316027 4354398 217531 112527 273585 204723 491116 317250 X 2346662 2928752 1478249 1108396 3824911 4037148 4316027 4354398 144544 13172 54521 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2111920 2809042 1323434 3188408 2113118 11545922 2111920 2809042 1323434 3188408 2113118 11545922 203457 179856 390000 363840 331683 1468836 0 203457 179856 390000 363840 331683 1468836 10077086 22180 29812 875 51444 95564 199875 22180 29812 875 51444 95564 199875 25000 1249 3108 12169 3565 45091 2159100 2840103 1327417 3252021 2212247 11790888 0.85470 0.83270 0.01700 0.01060 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 44231 44231 2027254 2071485 253574 63394 0 0 274155 253574 527729 791594 274155 44231 318386 68539 63394 131933 197900 68539 68539 142496 10676 153172 133043 9453 142496 134238 -1195 133043 129575 4663 134238 90553 39022 129575 0.00000 1.00000 0.00000 0 1 1 29664 11112 18552 153776 109695 44081 62633 ROU LIABILITY 204723 204723 X PART V, LINE 4: FUNDS ARE HELD BY NATIONAL ACLU.
