Our affiliate uses innovative digital tools to help audiences understand the personal and community impact of detention practices and the unconstitutional appropriation of funds to build a border wall. We continue to fight against the expulsion of children and families arriving at the border without due process, or that hold them in inhumane conditions. 700562 SMART Justice Reform The ACLU Foundation of Texas is seizing momentum to drive reform of the criminal legal system. Texas is ground-zero for pretrial incarceration reform, and we continue to work for reforms that reduce the number of people held pretrial and address other factors that drive high incarceration rates. The criminal legal reform landscape is changing rapidly, with opportunity for advancing long overdue reforms through advocacy, organizing, and public education. 539519 50500 Voting Rights The ACLU Foundation of Texas sees voting as the cornerstone of our democracy, the fundamental right upon which all civil liberties rest, and fights to protect it in a rapidly changing state becoming more diverse politically and otherwise than at any other point in living memory. Voter suppression and partisan gerrymandering disproportionately disenfranchise Black, Indigenous, and other voters of color especially in the absence of oversight protections of the Voting Rights Act. We challenge attempts to disenfranchise voters and stop new voting restrictions that add barriers and restrict access. Through litigation and advocacy, the ACLU of Texas Foundation is protecting Texans' fundamental right to vote. 592090 3355862 true true false true false false false false false true true false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false true 32 0 true 65 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 19 19 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true false true true false X Gibran Sawani 7139428146 5225 Katy Fwy Suite 350 Houston TX 77007 X Terri Burke thru 1020 Executive Dir. 27.00 13.00 X 253020 124622 45967 Thomas Hargis Chief Strategy Ofc 26.00 14.00 100833 54295 13580 Crystal Sykes from 0520 COO 27.00 13.00 X 99456 48986 13911 Andre Segura Legal Director 28.00 12.00 94259 40397 19722 Sarah Labowitz Policy & Advoc Dir 24.00 16.00 73106 48737 15392 Rebecca Robertson Interim ExecDir 24.00 15.00 X 19381 12113 0 Ranjana Natarajan President 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Lee Henderson thru 0121 Vice President 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 James Aldrete Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Amberg Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ricardo de Anda Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Paul Asofsky Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bilal Ayub Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gary Bledsoe Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marilyn Eiland Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dione Friends Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Robin Green 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 Maria Ramos Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alec Rhodes Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Rodriguez Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dian Ruud Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Graciela Sanchez Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nicola Fuentes Toubia Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Frances Valdez Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Young Board Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 640055 329150 108572 2 false true false 0 6046625 216310 6046625 0 58709 58709 0 0 3500 3500 3500 3500 215742 215233 509 509 509 0 0 0 0 6109343 62718 212344 212344 0 0 0 408245 277980 92430 37835 0 2395121 1741318 462042 191761 39263 30213 5385 3665 322175 230374 67804 23997 224264 160421 44656 19187 0 16499 6592 9907 32277 32277 23450 23450 0 0 270760 180134 86204 4422 64405 63467 938 125954 79576 35183 11195 50914 32794 8518 9602 0 239242 169988 45884 23370 4339 2708 1631 0 10050 7626 1930 494 0 0 38289 26509 8049 3731 35719 25828 8422 1469 Dues and subscriptions 94062 71678 22099 285 Professional development 24117 12862 10589 666 0 4631489 3355862 943948 331679 28146 379893 1271243 2234353 1422810 2347014 0 0 0 0 0 25061 13321 276020 177403 107207 98617 144980 169006 0 0 0 34170 32468 3033617 5274672 726885 469399 176639 1173300 903524 1642699 X 757788 863016 1372305 2768957 2130093 3631973 3033617 5274672 1477854 24026 X false true X true false X 2523666 3642370 4918079 4855324 6046625 21986064 0 0 2523666 3642370 4918079 4855324 6046625 21986064 3724740 18261324 2943 4000 26454 79650 62209 175256 0 10839 7851 18690 22180010 0.82330 0.87560 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 2700 20750 23450 4608039 4631489 381574 95394 false 342864 348167 405236 381574 1477841 2216762 191983 36816 23450 252249 85716 87042 101309 95394 369461 554192 31136 8316 2700 42152 144980 29935 5909 169006 142244 8160 5424 144980 140080 2164 142244 133982 11446 5348 140080 125000 8982 133982 0.73960 0.26040 false false false 57745 48355 9390 183274 129048 54226 35001 35001 98617 Due to affiliate 346120 Paycheck Protection Program Loan 827180 1173300 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
