Recognizing that incarceration, immigration detention and deportation separates families, we focus on legal services on the most vulnerable in the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community - immigrants facing deportation due to criminal convictions. The hundreds of clients we serve each year enable us to quickly identify emerging problem areas and to respond effectively through impact litigation, community education, and advocacy. 743238 Workers Rights: Advancing Justice-Asian Law Caucus has a long history of fighting on behalf of low-income immigrant workers. Our Workers' Rights program provides legal counseling, policy advocacy, direct services, and impact litigation for low-income immigrant workers on a wide range of workplace issues, including race and national origin discrimination, retaliation, wage and hour problems, unemployment insurance benefit appeals, and workplace safety. We also regularly partner with worker centers to support workplace organizing, worker-led campaigns, and the development of immigrant worker leaders. In 2022, our Workers' Rights program and other partner organizations secured an unprecedented settlement with the California Employment Development Department that ensures the agency's unemployment insurance benefits, services, and resources are available in all languages used by California residents.We also advocate for government agencies to provide resources for workers regardless of what language they speak or read and produce know-your-rights and in-language materials to help thousands of workers advocate for themselves. 534790 5000 National Security and Civil Rights: Our programs also pursue the promise of democracy for all, no matter where people are from, what language they speak, or how they pray. Through our National Security & Civil Rights program we protect the civil rights of individuals and communities unjustly impacted by overbroad national security policies, especially Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian (AMEMSA) communities. We strive to confront the day-to-day breaches of civil rights to impact the larger social and institutional dynamics that prevent the realization of equal rights, challenge the unjust surveillance of AMEMSA communities in the U.S. and assist families facing discrimination, passport revocation, denaturalization, and other tactics in the name of national security. 7623634 1317262 670600 Voting Rights: Advancing Justice-Asian Law Caucus' Voting Rights program works to expand access to the democratic process for AAPI, AMEMSA, and other immigrant communities, limited-English speaking Californians, and all those who have been historically disenfranchised. In November 2022, conducted the largest nonpartisan poll monitoring program in California. We then released a report based on our poll monitoring and advocated for local improvements to election systems. In 2022 and 2023, we co-led a statewide language access workgroup that released a report and roadmap to improve the voting experience for voters who need translated election materials. We also co-sponsored three state legislative bills focused on improving the language access laws, the local redistricting process, and the process when local jurisdictions adopted district elections.Housing: Advancing Justice-Asian Law Caucus' Housing Rights program advocates on behalf of low-income residents in the areas of housing and community development. We focus primarily on serving low-income communities of color and gateway communities for new immigrants. We have a long-standing focus on San Francisco Chinatown, where large numbers of tenants and seniors are in danger of displacement due to gentrification and other economic pressures. Informed by our direct legal services, we advocate for local and state policies that protect tenants, preserve housing, create affordable housing options, and decrease inequities in housing and land use.National Voting Rights: The Affiliation Voting Rights Strategy seeks to empower AAPIs by increasing capacities for voting rights advocacy and civic engagement in AAPI communities across the country, including in geographic areas where AAPI populations are emerging as a potent force in our democracy. Our work includes litigation, legal research and policy advocacy; demographic research, data analysis and mapping; training and consultation on voting rights and election administration issues. In 2021 and 2022, we worked with each of our affiliates and groups in GA, IL, MI, NM, OH and VA to address fair redistricting, election law compliance, voter education and access to voting.Criminal Justice Reform: Advancing Justice-Asian Law Caucus' Criminal Justice Reform program seeks to transform the criminal justice system by advocating for policies that disentangle local law enforcement from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), pushing for police reforms and challenging police misconduct, and promoting restorative justice as an alternative to punitive approach to criminal justice. In the past year, our work has included community education, legal representation, and advocacy to end ICE transfers in California, ensure county compliance with the CA Values Act, and bring community partners together to mobilize for policy change that helps immigrant families stay together.Asian American Leaders Table: We have convened AAPI community leaders and organizations around the Asian American Leaders Table. Together, we are driving the effort to address the root causes of interpersonal and systemic racism and to provide our partners with resources and tools to help their communities.Value Our Families: We engaged immigrant rights advocates and experts across the country in discussion seeking to reimagine what the US legal immigration system could be designed to support family immigration and respond to the country's economic needs.Other programs include Litigation, Communications, and Affiliate works. 7623634 1317262 670600 9896807 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 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 0 0 0 0 1 65 0 1 65 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 16 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X Advancing Justice-Asian Law Caucus Aarti Kohli 4158961701 55 Columbus Avenue San Francisco CA 94111 Darren S Teshima Chairman 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Tiffany N Santos Vice-Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Yaman Salahi Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Anthony Wan Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Connie Chan Board Member (start 12/22) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Perry Chen Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Allison J Cheung Board Member (end 10/22) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jina Choi Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 James Kan Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher Kao Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Belinda Lee Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ron Lee Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Laila Mehta Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Shams-Tabraiz Muzaffar Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Ng Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Magan Pritam Ray Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sue Wong Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Aarti Kohli Executive Director 40.00 X 188066 0 43788 Fay Li Director of Finance 40.00 X 147861 0 12958 Jacob S Yang Director of HR and Admin. 40.00 X 170378 0 10537 Lily Wang Deputy Director 40.00 X 160511 0 36079 Glenn Katon Litigation Director 40.00 X 154845 0 20218 Winifred Kao Sr. Staff Attorney/Program 40.00 X 152653 0 13454 Niketa Kumar Director of Communication 40.00 X 154729 0 16328 1129043 0 153362 16 0 1 0 Monona An-Chun Yin 135 Eastern Parkway Apt 8C Brooklyn NY 11238 Contract Labor 108731 Robert Half International Inc PO Box 743295 Los Angeles CA 90076 Contract Labor 106589 Eugene Eric Kim 422B 32nd Avenue San Francisco CA 94121 Contract Labor 105000 Deepnet Computer Consulting LLC 2544 Cleveland Ave Ste 42 Santa Rosa CA 95403 IT Consultants 101450 4 291858 3406061 13258117 7275 16956036 Voting Rights project 900099 530719 530719 Program service fees 900099 139881 139881 670600 352623 352623 22919400 23482161 -562761 -562761 -562761 341531 291858 341531 0 17416498 670600 0 -210138 1389404 1389404 459578 173031 286547 4641785 3955315 241940 444530 232334 198759 11135 22440 399498 342457 18803 38238 378794 308520 36895 33379 82500 82500 1079210 1002283 48334 28593 17295 11279 6016 56583 39737 2374 14472 256151 248380 7771 186541 186331 210 75327 69141 6186 65762 59210 6552 387701 387701 1300000 1300000 65724 65724 Event expense 34223 34223 Miscellaneous 32696 32692 4 Community outreach 25876 16876 9000 Subcontractors 17000 17000 27467 27467 11211449 9896807 732990 581652 11538671 4526629 2710420 7859656 3781482 9840728 129897 117024 2168141 991722 1154052 1176419 5755664 7816997 12458 228754 25082644 31566207 1634396 880896 110000 102500 1075756 1286994 2820152 2270390 X 9689255 11733909 12573237 17561908 22262492 29295817 25082644 31566207 6205049 828276 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 5192450 8551211 18313376 13381943 16956036 62395016 5192450 8551211 18313376 13381943 16956036 62395016 15970892 46424124 119575 83735 88178 247920 352623 892031 19497 83750 31696 228 135171 63422218 1046909 0.73200 0.73990 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3802 17518 21320 11155906 11177226 708861 177215 0 0 428738 694214 678609 708861 2510422 3765633 5073 16185 5581 21320 48159 107185 173554 169652 177215 627606 941409 895 4768 2549 3802 12014 1240000 332163 907837 404770 199437 205333 276600 262364 14236 246771 197758 49013 1176419 Finance lease obligation 1063480 Lease liability - operating leases 223514 1286994 X 21219602 828276 2633297 341531 3803104 17416498 0 17416498 14186277 2633297 341531 2974828 11211449 0 11211449 Part X, Line 2: AAAJ - ALC is exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701d.
