THE PAYMENT IS REPORTED IN PART II, COLUMN B(II). FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 THE WAR ON DRUGS IS AMONG THE MOST DISASTROUS POLICIES IN THE UNITED STATES. IT IS A MAJOR DRIVER OF CRIMINALIZATION AND OVER-POLICING, WITH A PARTICULARLY DEVASTATING IMPACT ON GENERATIONS OF BLACK, LATINX, AND OTHER PEOPLE OF COLOR. IT IS THE BASIS FOR DEPRIVING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS OF THE RIGHT TO VOTE. IT IS THE CAUSE FOR DEPORTATION OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF IMMIGRANTS EACH YEAR. IT IS THE EXCUSE FOR POURING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO BRUTAL MILITARY AND POLICE FORCES IN COUNTRIES FROM MEXICO TO AFGHANISTAN TO THE PHILIPPINES. IT DOES NOTHING TO PREVENT DRUG OVERDOSE DEATHS OR OTHER NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF DRUG MISUSE BUT INSTEAD EXACERBATES THESE VERY REAL PROBLEMS. AND IT FUELS PREJUDICE AGAINST PEOPLE WHO USE DRUGS, ENABLING AND ENCOURAGING THEIR DEHUMANIZATION. DPA ENVISIONS A JUST SOCIETY IN WHICH THE USE AND REGULATION OF DRUGS ARE GROUNDED IN SCIENCE, COMPASSION, HEALTH, AND HUMAN RIGHTS; IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER PUNISHED FOR WHAT THEY PUT INTO THEIR OWN BODIES; AND IN WHICH THE FEARS, PREJUDICES, AND PUNITIVE PROHIBITIONS OF TODAY ARE NO MORE. OUR MISSION IS TO ADVANCE THOSE POLICIES AND ATTITUDES THAT BEST REDUCE THE HARMS OF BOTH DRUG USE AND DRUG PROHIBITION, AND TO PROMOTE THE SOVEREIGNTY OF INDIVIDUALS OVER THEIR MINDS AND BODIES. FOUNDED IN 2000, TODAY WE HAVE 45 STAFF, 12,000 MEMBERS, 175,000 SUBSCRIBERS TO OUR ONLINE COMMUNICATIONS, AND A GROWING TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS AT THE MUNICIPAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL LEVELS. WHILE OUR WORK ADDRESSES THE WIDE RANGE OF SOCIAL, POLITICAL, AND ECONOMIC ISSUES TOUCHED BY THE WAR ON DRUGS, NEARLY ALL OUR EFFORTS FALL UNDER THREE SUBSTANTIVE ISSUE AREAS: 1) REFORMING THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. THE WAR ON DRUGS IS A PRINCIPAL FACTOR DRIVING MASS CRIMINALIZATION AND A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO THE UNPRECEDENTED RATE OF INCARCERATION IN THE U.S. SIMPLE DRUG POSSESSION IS BY FAR THE MOST ARRESTED OFFENSE IN THE COUNTRY, WITH 1.35 MILLION ARRESTS IN 2019 ALONE. DPA SEEKS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARRESTED, CONVICTED, INCARCERATED, AND OTHERWISE PUNISHED FOR DRUG OFFENSES; TO ADDRESS THE PROFOUND RACISM IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM; AND TO OVERHAUL POLICIES THAT SUPPORT THE DRUG WAR, SUCH AS CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE. 2) EMPOWERING PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACHES. THE DRUG WAR TREATS DRUG USE PRIMARILY AS A CRIMINAL PROBLEM RATHER THAN A HEALTH ISSUE, CAUSING UNNECESSARY DEATH, DISEASE, AND SUFFERING. MORE THAN 71,000 PEOPLE DIED OF AN OVERDOSE IN 2019 MAKING IT THE LEADING CAUSE OF ACCIDENTAL DEATH IN THE COUNTRY. DPA ADVOCATES HARM REDUCTION POLICIES AND EVIDENCE-BASED PUBLIC HEALTH INTERVENTIONS TO MINIMIZE THE NEGATIVE HEALTH CONSEQUENCES OF DRUGS, SUCH AS OVERDOSE FATALITIES, HIV/AIDS, HEPATITIS C, AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS, AND TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE MODELS TO CRIMINALIZATION. 3) ENDING CANNABIS PROHIBITION. CANNABIS PROHIBITION IS AT THE HEART OF THE DRUG WAR, DIRECTLY HARMING MORE LIVES THAN ANY OTHER SINGLE DRUG POLICY. EVEN THOUGH MANY STATES HAVE CREATED LEGAL MARKETS, THERE WERE MORE THAN HALF A MILLION ARRESTS FOR CANNABIS POSSESSION IN 2019. THE CONSEQUENCES OF AN ARREST CAN BE SEVERE, LEADING TO LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT, HOUSING, PARENTAL RIGHTS, AND FINANCIAL AID. DPA PROMOTES SENSIBLE POLICIES TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ARRESTS AND TO LEGALLY REGULATE CANNABIS FOR MEDICAL AND ADULT-USE PURPOSES. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B DPA ENGAGED AN OUTSIDE ACCOUNTING FIRM TO PREPARE THE FORM 990. THE FORM 990 IS PROVIDED AND PRESENTED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, AFTER THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER'S REVIEW. ONCE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ARE ADDRESSED, THE FORM 990 IS THEN SENT TO THE FULL BOARD BY EMAIL FOR THEIR REVIEW. ANY QUESTIONS FROM BOARD MEMBERS ARE DIRECTED BY THE BOARD PRESIDENT TO STAFF OR TO THE ACCOUNTING FIRM, AS APPROPRIATE. ONCE ALL QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD ARE SATISFACTORILY RESOLVED, THE FORM 990 IS THEN FILED WITH THE IRS. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C DRUG POLICY ALLIANCE CURRENTLY HAS IN PLACE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY THAT APPLIES TO ANY BOARD MEMBER OR OFFICER. EACH BOARD MEMBER AND OFFICER MUST ANNUALLY SIGN AND SUBMIT TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR A STATEMENT WHICH AFFIRMS SUCH PERSON: (A) HAS RECEIVED A COPY OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, (B) HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, AND (C) HAS AGREED TO COMPLY WITH THE POLICY. IF A POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL CONFLICT IS DISCLOSED AT ANY TIME, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE WILL REVIEW THE MATERIAL FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. IF IT IS ESTABLISHED THAT AN ACTUAL CONFLICT EXISTS, THE INDIVIDUAL WILL BE NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY AND WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO VOTE OR BE A PART OF ANY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT ANY SUCH TRANSACTIONS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE CONFLICT UNTIL THE CONFLICT IS RESOLVED. AT THE REQUEST OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, THE INTERESTED PERSON MAY PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRANSACTION PRIOR TO THE DELIBERATIONS OF THE BOARD. ANY DISCUSSION REGARDING THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST TRANSACTION IS DOCUMENTED IN THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD MEETINGS. THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD MEETING SHALL REFLECT THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST THAT WAS DISCLOSED, THE NAME OF THE INTERESTED PERSON, AND FINAL DISCUSSION ON THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST TRANSACTION. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LEFT THE ORGANIZATION IN MARCH 2020. THE ORGANIZATION CONTRACTED WITH AN INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WHO ASSUMED THE ROLE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TAX YEAR. THE ORGANIZATION SUBSEQUENTLY HIRED A NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IN SEPTEMBER 2020.
