TO THIS END, IN 2022 WE LED THE CAMPAIGNS FOR TWO FEATURE FILMS THAT ADDRESS ISSUES IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE ECOSYSTEM - ON THESE GROUNDS, ABOUT THE SCHOOL-TO-PRISON PIPELINE, AND APART, ABOUT GENDER-RESPONSIVE REENTRY PROGRAMMING. THE TWO CAMPAIGNS FEATURED HUNDREDS OF COMMUNITY SCREENING EVENTS WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS, REENTRY OFFICES, PRISONS AND BUSINESS LEADERS. ADDITIONALLY, IN FALL 2022 WE LAUNCHED A NEW CAMPAIGN FOR THE HBO DOCUMENTARY FILM MASTER OF LIGHT, ABOUT HEALING THROUGH ART AND INTERGENERATIONAL CYCLES OF TRAUMA AND INCARCERATION, AND WE BEGAN CAMPAIGN PLANNING FOR THE PBS DOCUMENTARY FILM SANSON & ME, ABOUT THE IMPACT OF INCARCERATION ON LATINX AND IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES IN THE UNITED STATES. BUILDING ON THE SUCCESS OF THE 2020-2021 AMBASSADOR PROGRAM OF 13 SYSTEM-IMPACTED INDIVIDUALS, REPRESENT JUSTICE SELECTED A CLASS OF SEVEN NEW AMBASSADORS FOR THE 2022 COHORT, WHICH INCLUDED PROMINENT NONPROFIT LEADERS, ADVOCATES, AND ARTISTS, TO BUILD THEIR NARRATIVE POWER AS STORYTELLERS. EACH AMBASSADOR CAME TO THE PROGRAM WITH A DESIRE TO GROW THEIR PERSONAL STORYTELLING SKILLS WHILE ALSO WANTING TO LEVERAGE THOSE SKILLS TO DISRUPT HARMFUL NARRATIVES AND TO ADVOCATE FOR CHANGE IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM. AMBASSADORS PARTICIPATED IN COMPREHENSIVE STORYTELLING AND FILM PRODUCTION TRAININGS, AND PUT THEIR TRAINING INTO PRACTICE THROUGH EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING, SELF-ADVOCACY AND NARRATIVE POWERBUILDING. THEY EACH PRODUCED THEIR OWN SHORT FILM PROJECT TO BE USED FOR ADVOCACY EFFORTS IN THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. WE ALSO CO-PRODUCED AND MESSAGE TESTED THREE ADDITIONAL SHORT FILMS WITH AMBASSADORS TO BE USED IN LOCAL ADVOCACY EFFORTS. ADDITIONALLY, REPRESENT JUSTICE COMPLETED THE FIRST PHASE OF OUR STORYTELLING AND EMPATHY STUDY WITH STANFORD UNIVERSITY; LAUNCHED A PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN TO FREE LAKEITH SMITH; DISTRIBUTED A COMPREHENSIVE CASE STUDY FOR JUSTICE FOR JULIUS, A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN POWERED BY REPRESENT JUSTICE TO SAVE THE LIFE OF JULIUS JONES IN OKLAHOMA, WHICH RESULTED IN HIS 11TH HOUR DEATH ROW COMMUTATION; AND GREW OUR PLAY FOR JUSTICE EVENT INITIATIVE WITH THE NBA. 2219713 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 62 0 1 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 CA X DANIEL FORKKIO 3105702963 777 S ALAMEDA ST 2ND FLOOR LOS ANGELES CA 90021 JULIO MARCIAL BOARD CHAIR & PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LIESL COPLAND SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 SCOTT BUDNICK BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH GILPIN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LISA HARRIS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 HEIDI NEL BOARD MEMBER - UNTIL 02/22 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHAKA SENGHOR BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL FORKKIO CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER & TREASURER 40.00 X 228632 0 12253 GRETEL TRUONG VP, IMPACT CAMPAIGNS 40.00 X 171182 0 5369 JAMIE DOBIE VP, DEVELOPMENT 40.00 X 142304 0 6298 CARLA FLEISHER VP, IMPACT DISTRIBUTION 40.00 X 142209 0 5916 MARSHAN ALLEN VP, ADVOCACY AND PARTNERSHIPS 40.00 X 129300 0 8173 813627 0 38009 5 0 1 0 MARCUM LLP 1899 L STREET NW SUITE 850 WASHINGTON DC 20036 ACCOUNTING AND HR 126425 1 2905441 2905441 FILM SCREENINGS 900099 153 153 153 62 62 43 13 30 30 REBATES 900099 3364 3364 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 570 570 3934 2909620 183 0 3996 X 25000 25000 50000 50000 409335 374146 17595 17594 839665 640693 19193 179779 65363 51481 3924 9958 91432 74240 2753 14439 4592 4592 98061 98061 778917 689957 74710 14250 500 500 23239 16534 3867 2838 45583 42462 466 2655 77693 63186 2322 12185 122635 63364 45376 13895 76062 51947 3220 20895 2695 2189 80 426 5166 4195 155 816 CONTENT & DIGITAL 41416 38889 132 2395 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 32265 29762 766 1737 MISCELLANEOUS 1673 1168 505 DISPOSAL OF EQUIPMENT 1003 1003 150 150 2792445 2219713 278870 293862 458216 339176 332992 49233 177196 689715 125946 27858 8079 5002 5144 3077 1099494 1109059 139389 131779 207520 207520 100000 0 446909 339299 X 278425 -232912 374160 1002672 652585 769760 1099494 1109059 117175 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 0 10880164 1135894 2808355 2905441 17729854 10880164 1135894 2808355 2905441 17729854 4889876 12839978 0 3509 2779 299 62 6649 117 196 313 17736816 8760 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: MISCELLANEOUS - 2018 AMOUNT: $ 0. 2019 AMOUNT: $ 0. 2020 AMOUNT: $ 0. 2021 AMOUNT: $ 117. 2022 AMOUNT: $ 196.
