TO MAKE EVERY VOTE COUNT, WE NEED A SYSTEM THAT IS FREE AND FAIR TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE'S VOICE IS HEARD, INCLUDING THOSE WHO HAVE HAD CONTACT WITH THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM. CLC BELIEVES THAT STATE AND FEDERAL POLICIES SHOULD UNIFORMLY PROTECT THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND PROMOTE VOTER PARTICIPATION ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. THIS CLC PROGRAM, THROUGH LITIGATION, POLICY ANALYSIS, STATE-BASED AND FEDERAL ADVOCACY, AND PUBLIC EDUCATION, SEEKS TO PROTECT THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND EXPAND ACCESS TO THE BALLOT. 2015547 400 CAMPAIGN FINANCE - THE FIRST AMENDMENT GUARANTEES EVERY AMERICAN THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE FULLY IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS. THE DEPENDENCE OF POLITICAL CANDIDATES ON WEALTHY SPECIAL INTERESTS IS A SERIOUS FLAW IN OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM AND MAKES ELECTED OFFICIALS RESPONSIVE TO THEIR LARGE DONORS RATHER THAN TO THE PUBLIC. THE TREMENDOUS POWER OF SPECIAL INTEREST MONEY IN POLITICS OFTEN DROWNS OUT THE VOICE OF EVERYDAY AMERICANS, THREATENS OUR FIRST AMENDMENT FREEDOMS, AND ERODES THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR ENTIRE DEMOCRACY. TO RESTORE FAIRNESS TO OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM, THIS CLC PROGRAM ADVOCATES FOR PASSING AND ENFORCING STRONG CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORMS THAT HELP GUARANTEE A DEMOCRACY THAT IS BOTH REPRESETATIVE OF AND RESPONSIVE TO THE PEOPLE. THESE REFORM SOLUTIONS INCLUDE PLACING REASONABLE LIMITS ON FUNDING OF CAMPAIGNS, COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY OF CAMPAIGN SPENDING AND PUBLIC FINANCING OF ELECTIONS. CLC HELPS ENACT SUCH POLICIES AT THE STATE, LOCAL AND FEDERAL LEVELS, AND WORKS TO ENSURE THAT THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION ENFORCES CURRENT CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS. CLC ALSO DEFENDS LAWS THAT PROMOTE THE FIRST AMENDMENT'S GUARANTEE THAT EVERY AMERICAN HAS THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS. 1519434 124 COMMUNICATIONS - THE COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT LEADS THE COMMUNICATION-CENTERED TACTICS THAT THE ORGANIZATION USES TO ACHIEVE POLICY AND LITIGATION WINS THAT ADVANCE DEMOCRACY. THIS DEPARTMENT WORKS TO BOOST AWARENESS AND PROVIDE EDUCATION AROUND PRIORITY ISSUES AS WELL AS LEADING COALITION MESSAGING EFFORTS. CLC'S COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT'S OVERARCHING GOALS ARE TO: ADVANCE CLC'S PROGRAMMATIC GOALS USING COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGIES, GROW CLC'S BRAND AS A PRO-VOTER, INCLUSIVE ORGANIZATION, AND MAINTAIN CLC'S REPUTATION AS NONPARTISAN. 1453840 286803 REDISTRICTING - DEMOCRACY WORKS BEST WHEN OUR VOTING MAPS ARE FAIRLY DRAWN ON A NONPARTISAN BASIS TO ENSURE THAT AMERICANS CAN PARTICIPATE EQUALLY IN THE ELECTION OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES. UNFORTUNATELY, INCUMBENTS OFTEN RIG THE SYSTEM TO BENEFIT THEMSELVES, THEIR PARTY AND SPECIAL INTEREST SUPPORTERS, MANIPULATING VOTING MAPS TO DICTATE THE OUTCOME OF ELECTIONS.TWO SOURCES OF DISCRIMINATION IN VOTING MAPS ARE PARTISAN GERRYMANDERING AND ELECTORAL SYSTEMS THAT UNDER-REPRESENT PEOPLE OF COLOR. THE RESULT IS DYSFUNCTION, MISTRUST, AND PUBLIC POLICIES THAT IGNORE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. THIS CLC PROGRAM ADVANCES AND SUPPORTS LEGAL CASES THAT ADDRESS REDISTRICTING VIOLATIONS, WORKS ON THE FRONT LINES IN THE FIGHT FOR FAIR REDISTRICTING PRACTICES IN THE STATES, AND CONTINUES TO PROMOTE VOTERS' RIGHTS TO FAIR DISTRICTS NATIONWIDE. 707770 POLICY - CLC'S POLICY PROGRAM WORKS TO ADVANCE PRO-DEMOCRACY, PRO-VOTER LAWS AND THE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LEVELS. CLC BRINGS DECADES OF POLICY AND LEGAL EXPERTISE TO OUR WORK WITH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, AND GRASSROOTS ADVOCATES. WE ARE ENGAGED THROUGH THE ENTIRE LIFE CYCLE OF THE LAW: DEVELOPING POLICY, DRAFTING LEGISLATION AND BALLOT INITIATIVES, AND ENSURING EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION THROUGH ADMINISTRATIVE ADVOCACY. THE POLICY PROGRAM WORKS ACROSS CLC PROGRAM TEAMS TO DEVELOP STRATEGIC ADVOCACY STRATEGIES AND EFFECTIVE PARTNERSHIPS. IN ADVANCE OF THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, THE POLICY PROGRAM IS FOCUSED ON PREVENTING THE THREATS OF ELECTION SABOTAGE. THIS INCLUDES IDENTIFYING STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES TO SHORE UP GAPS IN ELECTION PROCEDURES THROUGH LEGISLATIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE ADVOCACY, AND DEVELOPING ROBUST COALITIONS TO RESPOND TO ATTEMPTS TO MANIPULATE PROCESSES. 684750 ETHICS - ONE OF THE HALLMARKS OF A HEALTHY DEMOCRACY IS PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE INTEGRITY OF DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS. THAT PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IS EARNED THROUGH THE COMMITMENT OF THOSE IN AND WORKING WITH GOVERNMENT TO UPHOLD THE PRINCIPLE THAT PUBLIC SERVICE IS A PUBLIC TRUST. FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO ENACT AND ENFORCE CLEAR ETHICAL GUIDELINES AND LAWS. ONLY THEN, CAN PUBLIC OFFICIALS ADEQUATELY NAVIGATE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS AND BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE WHEN THEY BREAK THE PUBLIC'S TRUST. THIS SYSTEM IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE A HEALTHY DEMOCRACY. THIS CLC PROGRAM PROPOSES SOLUTIONS FOR STRONGER ETHICS AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, AND SERVES AS A GOVERNMENT WATCHDOG, HOLDING ELECTED OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE FOR ETHICS VIOLATIONS. 628867 1524 OTHER PROGRAMS 3475227 288327 9626034 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 39 0 1 90 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 16 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK CA FL GA HI IL KS KY MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WV WI X X X THE ORGANIZATION 2027362200 1101 14TH STREET NW NO 400 WASHINGTON DC 20005 TREVOR POTTER PRESIDENT 36.00 0.50 X X 375385 14694 23780 NORM ORNSTEIN CHAIR 1.00 0.50 X X 0 0 0 PAUL KLINGENSTEIN VICE CHAIR 1.00 0.50 X X 0 0 0 PETER STAPLE TREASURER 1.00 0.50 X X 0 0 0 CHAI FELDBLUM SECRETARY 1.00 0.50 X X 0 0 0 JESSICA AMUNSON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 NEIL EGGLESTON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 FAITH GAY TRUSTEE 1.00 0.50 X 0 0 0 STUART GERSON TRUSTEE 1.00 0.50 X 0 0 0 DEBBORAH HELLMAN TRUSTEE 1.00 0.50 X 0 0 0 DAVID HILLER TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 THURGOOD MARSHALL JR TRUSTEE 1.00 0.50 X 0 0 0 BEVERLY MARTIN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARTHA MINOW TRUSTEE 1.00 0.50 X 0 0 0 THEODORE SHAW TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 RILEY TEMPLE TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICK GEDDES TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SABRINA FISHER DIRECTOR OF FINANCE 40.00 X 151250 0 14447 ADAV NOTI VICE PRESIDENT & LEGAL DIRECTOR 40.00 X 217479 0 19808 KIM BRIGHT VICE PRESIDENT, OPERATIONS & FINANCE 40.00 X 229750 0 6841 JASON JAFFERY VICE PRESIDENT, DEVELOPMENT 40.00 X 203291 0 15948 TARA MALLOY SR.
