There are currently four Board-led projects which the organization is actively supporting: Ethnic Studies Coalition, Lessons in Liberation, and EdLib Minnesota 40464 Free Minds Free People (FMFP). Free Minds, Free People (FMFP) is a national conference presented by the Education for Liberation Network that brings together teachers, young people, researchers, parents, and community-based activists/educators from across the country to build a movement to develop and promote education as a tool for liberation. The conference is a space in which these groups learn from and teach each other by sharing knowledge, experience, and strategies. The conference has been held every other year since 2007 in the following cities: Chicago, IL, Houston, TX, Providence, Ri, Oakland, CA, and Baltimore, MD. The conference has grown in participation each time we have convened FMFP. In 2023, we had over 700 people for our virtual FMFP conference. The Education for Liberation Executive Director, Board of Directors, and FMFP volunteers work alongside each other to organize and plan the conference. Workshop presenters, plenary speakers, and panelists volunteer their time and skills as well. Planning to Change the World: a Plan Book for Social Justice Teachers is a plan book for educators who believe their students can and will change the world. It is designed to help teachers translate their vision of a just education into concrete classroom activities. The planner includes weekly planning pages, references to online lesson plans and resources, inspirational quotes, tips from social justice teachers, essential questions to spark classroom discussions, and reproducible social justice awards with students. The Executive Director oversees the coordination, management and editing of the plan book. The workload is managed and organized by a team of volunteers and paid consultants. 198732 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 4 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true false false MI X Brian Lozenski 4102417355 500 Griswold Street Suite 240 Detroit MI 48226 Awo Okaikor Aryee-Price Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 91036 0 0 Holly Hardin Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Natalia Ortiz Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Antwain Jordan Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Adeola Oredola Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Solicia Lopez President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Farima Pour-Khorshid Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nhi Ngyuen Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Aja Reynolds Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 91036 0 false false false 0 244258 244258 PROGRAM SERVICE REVENUE 114597 114597 114597 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 358855 114597 X 0 0 0 0 91036 61500 20750 8786 0 31691 26816 3250 1625 0 11726 8374 2332 1020 11558 8322 2311 925 0 1000 1000 5400 5400 0 0 0 103117 55173 42944 5000 0 1169 115 877 177 2321 2321 0 0 13173 11140 2033 0 19849 19849 0 0 0 1809 414 1395 Sponsorship Expenses 3500 3500 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 3304 648 2656 FUNDRAISING EXPENSES 3085 3085 EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES 2295 2295 1105 586 382 137 307138 198732 87651 20755 698404 653726 0 0 216500 303600 0 0 0 0 3179 2316 0 0 0 0 0 11440 918083 971082 3718 5000 3718 5000 X 685303 620250 229062 345832 914365 966082 918083 971082 51717 X true X false true false X 128368 154020 578284 283602 244259 1388533 126558 117351 114597 358506 0 0 0 128368 154020 704842 400953 358856 1747039 0 0 1747039 402 558 612 1572 0 402 558 612 1572 0 0 128770 154578 705454 400953 358856 1748611 0.99910 0.92850 0.00090 0.00100 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Submitted to Treasurer and Finance Committee for review prior to final filing of the Form 990 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Board monitors on an ongoing basis the use of vendors and contracts for potential conflict of interest and has an annual commitment to the conflict of interest policy.
