Form 990, Part III, Line 4A PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS CONTINUATION BUT THE INCONSISTENT WAY THE LAW IS APPLIED IS EVEN CLEARER WHEN ONE EXAMINES RULE-BREAKING BY PROSECUTORS AND JUDGES. WHEN PROSECUTORS AND JUDGES BREAK THE RULES-EVEN WHEN IT IS PUBLICLY DISCOVERED-THERE IS RARELY ANY CONSEQUENCE. CRC WORKS CLOSELY WITH LAW PROFESSORS AND OTHER EXPERTS TO FILE-AND DEVELOP PUBLIC NARRATIVE WORK AROUND-DISCIPLINARY COMPLAINTS AGAINST SYSTEM ACTORS WHO ABUSE THEIR POWER-BE IT A JUDGE WHO SYSTEMICALLY IGNORES EXPLICIT DIRECTIVES FROM HIGHER COURTS NOT TO IMPOSE WEALTH-BASED DETENTION WITHOUT CONSIDERING LESS RESTRICTIVE ALTERNATIVES, OR A PROSECUTOR WHO INTENTIONALLY CONCEALS EXCULPATORY INFORMATION IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THEIR BRADY OBLIGATIONS. BY EXERTING PRESSURE AND IMPOSING CONSEQUENCES ON THOSE WITH THE MOST POWER IN THE LEGAL SYSTEM FOR INJUSTICES AGAINST THOSE WITH THE LEAST, WE SEEK TO DETER SUCH MISCONDUCT IN THE FUTURE WHILE ALSO PULLING BACK THE CURTAIN ON THE EVERYDAY HARMS WROUGHT BY THE LEGAL SYSTEM. CRCS STORYTELLING WORK IS CENTERED ON THE HUMANITY OF INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES MOST IMPACTED BY THE INEQUITIES AND INJUSTICES IN OUR LEGAL SYSTEM. WE STRIVE TO ENLIGHTEN AND EDUCATE AUDIENCES NATIONWIDE ACROSS VARIOUS PLATFORMS. OUR WORK IS GROUNDED IN THE BELIEF THAT PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND STORIES INVITE DEEPER CONNECTIONS AND FOSTER GREATER UNDERSTANDING. BY UTILIZING TRADITIONAL COMMUNICATION CHANNELS, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND BOTH SHORT AND LONG-FORM CONTENT, WE ENGAGE A WIDE SPECTRUM OF AUDIENCES TO EXPLORE THE CORE ISSUES OF OUR WORK. CRCS ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM USES ART AND ARTISTS TO SHIFT THE NARRATIVE AROUND THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM. THE PROGRAM OFFERS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR EMERGING CREATIVE LEADERS TO BLEND THEIR TALENTS WITH THE WORK OF THE ORGANIZATION. THEY EACH PRODUCE VITAL AND VIVID WORKS THAT COMMUNICATE THE HUMANITY OF DIRECTLY IMPACTED PEOPLE AND SHED LIGHT ON THE TOLL THE UNJUST PRACTICES IN THE CRIMINAL SYSTEM TAKE ON THE BODIES AND MINDS OF DIRECTLY IMPACTED PEOPLE, THEIR LOVED ONES, AND OUR COMMUNITIES. ARTISTS, POETS, MUSICIANS, AND OTHER CREATIVES SHARE STORIES, SHINE A LIGHT ON THE PAST, AND IMAGINE NEW FUTURES.

AFTER THE REVIEW OF THE DRAFT FORM 990, IT IS THEN CIRCULATED TO THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C THE PURPOSE OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS TO PROTECT CIVIL RIGHTS CORPS INTEREST WHEN IT IS CONTEMPLATING ENTERING INTO A TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT THAT MIGHT BENEFIT THE PRIVATE INTEREST OF AN OFFICER OR DIRECTOR OR MIGHT RESULT IN A POSSIBLE EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTION.
