IT IS THE PREMIERE IMMIGRANT RIGHTS ORGANIZATION THAT EFFECTIVELY COMBINES LEGISLATIVE AND POLICY ADVOCACY, STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS, ORGANIZING AND CAPACITY BUILDING TO PURSUE ITS MISSION. IT IS POWERED BY A STAFF OF POLICY EXPERTS AND ADVOCATES; A STEERING COMMITTEE COMPOSED OF 14 STATEWIDE ORGANIZATIONS; 85 MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS; AND NINE REGIONAL COALITION PARTNERS SPANNING SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, THE CENTRAL COAST AND THE CENTRAL VALLEY. 0 0 2182491 337043 0 CIPC CONTINUES TO BE A HIGH IMPACT ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION WORKING AGAINST TREMENDOUS ODDS. THROUGH ITS ROBUST ADVOCACY, IT HAS HELPED TO RAISE, IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, MORE THAN $500 MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE STATE BUDGET TO ENSURE THAT IMMIGRANTS HAVE THE PROTECTIONS THEY NEED, AND A STATE INFRASTRUCTURE EXISTS TO PROVIDE IT. COMMUNITY ORGANIZING AND POLICY WORK ARE CORE TO CIPC'S THEORY OF CHANGE. KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR THE ORGANIZING AND POLICY TEAM INCLUDE TRACKING 90+ BILLS IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND PROVIDING MEANINGFUL ANALYSIS INCLUDING BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS TO MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE AND THEIR STAFF. EQUALLY SIGNIFICANT IS THE TRAINING OUR TEAMS PROVIDE TO OUR NETWORK OF COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS SO THAT THEY MAY REMAIN WELL INFORMED ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES IN THE STATEHOUSE AND THE PROCESS A BILL UNDERGOES TO BECOME AN EFFECTIVE LAW.IN 2020, CIPC CONVENED THE CALIFORNIA PROTECTING IMMIGRANT FAMILIES (CA PIF), A COALITION OF OVER 150 ORGANIZATIONS, THAT TOOK THE LEAD IN DRIVING THE STRATEGY AND DIRECTION OF THE STATEWIDE PUBLIC CHARGE CAMPAIGN. CIPC PRIORITIZED RAPID RESPONSE COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND OUTREACH AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO UNDERSERVED REGIONS, SERVICE PROVIDERS AND LOCAL AGENCIES, AND STAKEHOLDERS. OUR DIRECT OUTREACH AND ADVOCACY EFFORTS WERE EFFECTIVE IN DISSEMINATING VALUABLE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION SO THAT IMMIGRANT POPULATIONS CONTINUE TO ENROLL FOR SERVICES AVAILABLE TO THEM. FRONTLINE COUNTY-LEVEL STAFF RECEIVED CRITICAL INFORMATION AND TIMELY UPDATES ON PUBLIC CHARGE, ENABLING THEM TO BETTER EDUCATE AND PREPARE THE AFFECTED COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. CIPC PROVIDED EXTERNAL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND TRAININGS ON APPROXIMATELY 75 OCCASIONS FOR THE MEDI-CAL EXPANSION, PUBLIC CHARGE, AND CALIFORNIA'S INDIVIDUAL MANDATE.EACH YEAR, CIPC HOSTS THE LARGEST CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND ADVOCACY DAY IN SACRAMENTO. NEARLY 1,000 IMMIGRANT RIGHTS' LEADERS AND ADVOCATES, REPRESENTING MORE THAN 75 ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE, RALLY IN MAY COURAGEOUS ACTION FROM OUR STATE GOVERNMENT TO PRESERVE AND EXPAND HEALTH AND OTHER SOCIAL SAFETY NET PROGRAMS, IMMIGRANT INCLUSION INVESTMENTS AND DETENTION AND DEPORTATION RELATED JUSTICE. CIPC ALSO LED THE ONE CA COALITION IN ADVOCATING FOR THE ONGOING FUNDING AT $45 MILLION ANNUALLY AND PROPOSING STRUCTURAL MODIFICATIONS TO IMPROVE ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROGRAM. AS A RESULT, CIPC SUCCESSFULLY GUIDED THE COALITION TO PRIORITIZE BOTH DACA REIMBURSEMENTS AND FUNDING FOR OUTREACH AND EDUCATION SERVICES IN RESPONSE TO PUBLIC CHARGE. CIPC HELPED TO SECURE AN ADDITIONAL $10 MILLION IN FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO IMPLEMENT AND SUPPORT THEIR OWN LEGAL SERVICE PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF, WHILE MAINTAINING THE $65 MILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT IN LEGAL PROTECTIVE SERVICES (EVEN DURING A BUDGET DEFICIT) TO PROVIDE LEGAL COUNSEL TO INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES TRYING TO NAVIGATE COMPLICATED IMMIGRATION POLICY CHANGE. CIPC SUCCESSFULLY EXPANDED CALIFORNIA'S EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT--A PROVEN ANTI- POVERTY TAX TOOL--TO INCLUDE WORKERS AND FAMILIES WHO FILE TAXES WITH A TEMPORARY IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. MORE THAN 600,000 IMMIGRANT FAMILIES WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED$3.2 BILLION IN TAX SUPPORT TO THE STATE BUT DIDN'T RECEIVE STATE AND/OR FEDERAL COVID-19 RELIEF WILL BE ABLE TO COLLECT MONEY TO HELP WITH CRITICAL NEEDS. 562010 82410 0 STRATEGIC MESSAGING AND COMMUNICATIONS IS ANOTHER ESSENTIAL PROGRAM AT CIPC. WE HAVE SERVED AS THE COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT FOR THE IMMIGRANT RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN CA FOR NEARLY A DECADE. CIPC HAD CONDUCTED AND CONTRIBUTED TO INNOVATIVE, VALUES-BASED PUBLIC OPINION RESEARCH, WITH AN EYE TOWARD FOMENTING LONG-TERM SHIFTS. THE ORGANIZATION HAS PREVIOUSLY LED, SHAPED, OR CONTRIBUTED TO OPINION RESEARCH RELATING TO THE INVOLVEMENT OF LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT IN DEPORTATIONS, ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, AND OTHER VITAL ISSUES. SINCE 2018, CIPC LED EXPLORATORY, GROUND-BREAKING RESEARCH AT THE INTERSECTION OF ORGANIZING AND COMMUNICATIONS TO FACILITATE TRANSFORMATIVE NARRATIVE CHANGE THROUGHOUT THE IMMIGRATION STRATEGIC MESSAGING PROJECT. THE PROJECT IS A COLLABORATIVE, MULTI- ORGANIZATION RESEARCH EFFORT TO REACH NEW AUDIENCES. SINCE ITS INCEPTION, THE ISMP TEAM HAS CONDUCTED SOME OF THE MOST EXTENSIVE MESSAGING RESEARCH IN THE IMMIGRANT JUSTICE MOVEMENT, INCLUDING SIGNIFICANT "FIRSTS" WITH DEEP CANVASSING, ADDRESSABLE TV AD TESTING, AND TWO-WAY TEXTING ON IMMIGRATION ISSUES. CIPC CONTINUED CONVENING SOCIAL JUSTICE ADVOCATES AS PART OF ITS REGIONAL COMMUNICATIONS HUBS PROGRAM TO BUILD A COMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE IN THREE REGIONS: THE CENTRAL VALLEY, INLAND EMPIRE, AND THE 805 AREA WITH TRAININGS ON MEDIA PROFICIENCY, RAPID RESPONSE, AND NARRATIVE FRAMEWORK. IN 2020, CIPC FOCUSED ITS TRAINING ON STRATEGIC AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS TO BUILD SKILLS AROUND FRAMING AND MESSAGING, TOUCHING UPON STORYTELLING FOR ADVOCACY, VALUES-BASED MESSAGES RELATED TO COVID-19, AND BEST PRACTICES FOR SOCIAL MEDIA. 2744501 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 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 42 0 1 32 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 CA X CYNTHIA BUIZA 2132500880 634 S SPRING STREET NO 600A LOS ANGELES CA 90014 HECTOR VILLAGRA CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RACHELLE REYES WENGER TREASURER 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JULIA RICHIE SECRETARY 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TOM K WONG DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD BARRERA DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 XOCHITL CASTANEDA DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RESHMA SHAMASUNDER DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LETICIA LANDA DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA BUIZA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 X 150618 0 5508 ALMAS SAYEED DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMS 40.00 0.00 X 105006 0 9763 255624 0 15271 2 0 1 0 0 3377757 3377757 9453 9453 3387210 0 0 9453 X 386108 386108 33345 33345 156126 110482 21628 24016 1549520 1101858 202820 244842 45448 27871 15787 1790 139717 85681 48533 5503 136174 96848 17806 21520 75694 75694 575692 521741 53951 28947 16503 1827 10617 83247 24034 58938 275 25567 20478 5089 162385 141216 21157 12 382 248 121 13 110270 71737 34876 3657 13615 13615 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMEN 79864 50692 26523 2649 DUES & PUBLICATIONS 48607 32542 14991 1074 TRAINING & MATERIALS 14589 9491 4614 484 607 11 313 283 3665904 2744501 604668 316735 1607798 1583807 2534717 2873034 778700 478300 15607 33196 7055 16872 4943877 4985209 241537 195548 366015 241537 561563 X 2203671 3544565 2498669 879081 4702340 4423646 4943877 4985209 -278694 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 6424879 4500444 3377757 14303080 6424879 4500444 3377757 14303080 4982952 9320128 3896 10447 9453 23796 14326876 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 23362 36205 59567 3289602 3349169 317458 79365 0 0 256587 330830 317458 904875 1357313 22370 222914 59567 304851 64147 82708 79365 226220 339330 3188 15523 23362 42073 0 X 3387210 0 3387210 0 3387210 3665904 0 3665904 0 3665904 PART X, LINE 2: CIPC RECOGNIZES THE IMPACT OF TAX POSITIONS IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IF THAT POSITION IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED ON AUDIT, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION.

CIPC IDENTIFIED EXISTING ANCHOR ORGANIZATIONS AND COALITIONS IN THE DIFFERENT REGIONS AND PILOTED THE REGIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECT IN 2013. BASED ON THE SUCCESS OF THE FIRST YEAR, THE REGIONAL COALITIONS BECAME A COHORT THAT HAS SINCE BEEN WORKING TOWARDS THE GOALS OF: ADDRESSING THE URGENT WORK OF CONNECTING IMMIGRANT RIGHTS ISSUES WITH OTHER ISSUES CONFRONTING MANY COMMUNITIES OF COLOR; BRIDGING THE GEOGRAPHICAL AND ECONOMIC DIVIDES BETWEEN RURAL, SUBURBAN, AND URBAN AREAS; AND HARNESSING THEIR POWER TO REPRESENT THEIR COMMUNITIES IN STATE AND FEDERAL ADVOCACY. ALTHOUGH THE REGIONAL COALITIONS ARE IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS IN CALIFORNIA, THEY FACE SIMILAR BARRIERS TO SUCCESS, SUCH AS: DEVELOPING LOCAL CAMPAIGNS, OPERATING WITH LIMITED AND MAINLY VOLUNTEER DRIVEN RESOURCES, CHANGING THE PUBLIC DEBATE ON IMMIGRANT ISSUES IN THEIR REGION, AND CONNECTING TO LARGER POLICY EFFORTS AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS. THE REGIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECT IS AN INVESTMENT IN REGIONAL AND LOCAL COALITIONS TO ENSURE THAT LOCAL REALITIES AND ISSUES ARE REPRESENTED AND HAVE IMPACT ON DECISIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS BEING MADE AT THE STATE LEVEL. PARTNERS COMMIT TO FOSTERING A GRASSROOTS AGENDA FOR A JUST AND FAIR CALIFORNIA THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE. IN 2020, CIPC ALSO PROVIDED SUBGRANTS TO OUR ECONOMIC JUSTICE PARTNERS AND PARTNERS WORKING ON HEALTH FOR ALL YOUNG ADULTS IMPLEMENTATION.
