With the fourth highest incarceration rate in the country, we work to reduce the number Texans who are incarcerated and shrink the criminal legal system's footprint by seeking reforms in policing, reducing the number of Texans held in pre-trial detention, and seeking changes to overly harsh sentencing that have overcrowded our state's prisons. 338066 87 Voting Rights - The ACLU of Texas is fighting back against voter suppression efforts that disenfranchise Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities and create obstacles to registration, cutbacks on early voting, and strict voter identification requirements. We advocate for policies that make it easier for Texans to vote - such as the expansion of same-day and online voter registration - and provide resources to empower eligible Texans to make their voices heard in our democracy. 237120 403 Immigrants' Rights - The ACLU of Texas fights to defend immigrants' rights and border communities, which have been historically and are currently profiled, harassed, detained, and demonized by extremist politicians and the militarized law enforcement agencies they control. We continue to battle unconstitutional attempts by state and local authorities that set immigration laws and enforce anti-immigrant policies. 227272 35 LGBTQIA+ Equality - The ACLU of Texas is dedicated to securing and defending constitutional and civil rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) Texans - who lack the most basic protections against discrimination under state law. Texas lawmakers have weaponized state agencies against vulnerable groups like transgender youth and Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) in the LGBTQIA+ community. We work to secure protections to expand LGBTQIA+ equality for those facing workplace discrimination, housing discrimination, healthcare discrimination, bullying, and violence because of their identity. 211525 1254 Reproductive Freedom - The ACLU of Texas works to ensure that everyone in Texas can make the best decision for themselves and their family about when and whether to have a child, without undue influence by politicians and special interest groups. In spite of the constitutional guarantee to safe, legal abortion services established by Roe v. Wade in 1973, extremist politicians in the Texas legislature and in Texas cities have worked to render abortion services inaccessible to as many Texans as possible. We continue to fight these enduring attacks on abortion access statewide and at the local level. 438797 1289 1415874 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 14 0 1 6 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 22 22 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 X Gibran Sawani 7139428146 5225 Katy Fwy Ste 350 Houston TX 77007 X Ranjana Natarajan Chair & President 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Lee Henderson Vice Chair 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MaryScott Hagle Treasurer 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Manpreet Singh Secretary 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Stephen Amberg Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Paul Asofsky Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bilal Ayoub Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gary Bledsoe Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Royce Brooks Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ricardo de Anda Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marilyn Eiland Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Karla Garcia Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Georgine Guillory Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gilberto Hinojosa Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Craig Jackson Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sameena Karmally Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Manuel Quinto-Pozos Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Rodriguez Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Graciela Sanchez Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Latisha Shahzad Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alisa Simmons Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nicola Fuentes Toubia Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gislaine Williams Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Oni Blair Executive Director (from June 2021) 16.00 24.00 X 32512 48769 6765 Rebecca Robertson Interim ED (to June 2021) 16.00 24.00 X 37563 56344 0 Crystal Sykes Chief Operating Officer 16.00 24.00 X 59761 89642 17541 Sarah Labowitz Policy and Advocacy Director 16.00 24.00 X 51406 77110 16410 Andre Segura Legal Director 16.00 24.00 X 53494 80241 21062 Tom Hargis Chief Strategy Officer 16.00 24.00 X 60487 90730 13783 295223 442836 75561 0 0 1 0 0 2474650 181683 2656333 15380 15380 2671713 0 0 15380 6795 6795 138817 92517 29324 16976 1464178 928552 348456 187170 17304 11268 2346 3690 93964 61243 24448 8273 66620 45323 14671 6626 7901 7901 41397 41397 106083 92288 13795 12879 12445 434 32688 14456 7465 10767 3961 3961 95297 63155 31524 618 17997 13530 3883 584 10586 6836 3750 12828 8492 4336 Dues and subscriptions 22934 12493 7154 3287 Professional dev. 2161 1123 1038 2154390 1415874 500525 237991 337601 173696 2816749 3680551 118 20000 421409 311632 4755 612 32999 25584 10881 7415 350215 223096 3941728 4417002 170072 128023 170072 128023 X 3771656 4288979 3771656 4288979 3941728 4417002 517323 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 1 0 0 4352 3153 1199 28647 22431 6216 7415 Expense reimbursement receivable from affiliate 219001 Security deposit 4095 223096 1 Part I, Line 2: Grants and forecasts for future spending are periodically monitored to ensure compliance and timely expenditure by the grantee.
