THAT INCLUDES CENTER WORK IN A BROAD VARIETY OF CONTEXTS INCLUDING EACH OF THOSE OUTLINED ABOVE. THE WORK RECOGNIZES THAT ALTHOUGH ADVOCACY FOR ECONOMIC JUSTICE OVERLAPS HEAVILY WITH ADVOCACY ON BEHALF OF MARGINALIZED INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS AND MAY BRING SUBSTANTIAL BENEFITS TO MEMBERS OF THOSE GROUPS, IT DOES NOT ALWAYS DIRECTLY CONFRONT THE RELATED BUT INDEPENDENT QUESTION OF INEQUALITY RESULTING FROM DISCRIMINATION AGAINST MEMBERS OF MARGINALIZED GROUPS. 326391 246887 ADVOCACY REGARDING PUBLIC ENTITLEMENTS: USING AMBITIOUS LITIGATION AND CREATIVE LEGAL STRATEGIES, NCLEJ PROTECTS ACCESS TO ALL PUBLIC ENTITLEMENTS PROGRAMS. THE CENTER PROTECTS THE RIGHTS OF LOW-INCOME PERSONS TO APPLY FOR CRITICAL ASSISTANCE, PROTECTS FAMILIES FROM UNLAWFUL TERMINATION OF BENEFITS, AND FIGHTS TO ENSURE FUNDAMENTAL FAIRNESS IN THE OPERATION OF FOOD STAMPS, CASH ASSISTANCE, CHILDCARE, AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS. WORKING WITH ADVOCATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, NCLEJ ALSO WORKS TO ENFORCE LEGAL PROTECTIONS AND PROMOTE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS. OUR ADVOCACY HAS PROMOTED MEDICAID, STATE CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAMS AND SIMILAR BENEFITS FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. 171302 SUPPORT FOR LOW-WAGE WORKERS: NCLEJ ADVOCATES FOR DECENT WAGES AND SAFE AND FAIR WORKPLACES ON BEHALF OF LOW-WAGE WORKERS, THE MOST VULNERABLE WORKERS IN OUR COUNTRY. LITIGATION AND PROJECTS INCLUDE COMBATTING GENDER PAY DISPARITY, PREGNANCY DISCRIMINATION, AND WAGE THEFT, AND CHALLENGING EXEMPTIONS TO WAGE AND HOUR PROTECTIONS FOR, E.G., HOME HEALTH CARE, AGRICULTURAL AND RESTAURANT WORKERS. THE CENTER WORKS IN SUPPORT OF GRASSROOTS WORKER CENTERS AND OTHER ORGANIZERS AND HAS BEEN IN THE VANGUARD OF THE WORKER-DRIVEN SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (WSR) MOVEMENT. 7965 74836 COMBATTING UNFAIR DEBT COLLECTION: NCLEJ PROTECTS LOW-INCOME DEBTORS AND LEADS THE FIGHT AGAINST ABUSIVE DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES THAT UNDERMINE FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES' ECONOMIC STABILITY. ALTHOUGH THOSE PRACTICES MAY BE IMPOSED BY PRIVATE OR PUBLIC ACTORS, INCREASINGLY, THAT WORK FOCUSES ON ABUSIVE DEBT COLLECTION POLICIES AND PRACTICES BY GOVERNMENTAL ACTORS. WE CHALLENGE ATTEMPTS TO COLLECT FINES AND FEES FROM PERSONS TOO POOR TO PAY AND AGAINST WHOM THE GOVERNMENT MAY, FOR EXAMPLE, TAKE AWAY A DRIVER'S LICENSE OR INTERCEPT A STATE TAX REFUND. 7965 74836 1780482 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 0 1 20 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 31 31 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 NY X X DENNIS D PARKER NCLEJ 2126336967 275 SEVENTH AVENUE NO 1506 NEW YORK NY 100016860 SANDRA D HAUSER CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 CASSANDRA BARHAM VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DOUGLAS F CURTIS VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JEFFREY SHINDER TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 SARA WERDER SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DEBORAH N ARCHER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 SHIREEN A BARDAY DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARY LU BILEK DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOEL M COHEN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE E COHEN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL M DODYK DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW R DUNLAP DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MUHAMMAD U FARIDI DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 HENRY FREEDMAN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARY E GERISCH DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN L KASS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 EDWARD P KRUGMAN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID SAPIR LESSER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 REV MICHAEL LIVINGSTON DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 RAY LOPEZ DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES MCCLAMMY DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 BRUCE RABB DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 SHANNON ROSE SELDEN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 PAM ROSADO DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER SELENDY DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ANGELIQUE SHIGLER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JILL SHINN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL SLIFKIN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ALEXANDRA WALD DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 REV PHIL TOM DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 LEE WOLOSKY DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DENNIS D PARKER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 35.00 X 231993 0 44527 GREG L BASS SENIOR ATTORNEY 35.00 X 156469 0 17524 CLAUDIA WILNER SENIOR ATTORNEY 35.00 X 140379 0 15390 MARC COHAN DIRECTOR OF LITIGATION 35.00 X 127565 0 10732 656406 0 88173 4 0 1 0 0 514035 1313111 20688 1827146 ATTORNEY FEES 541100 429682 429682 429682 5830 5830 20688 20688 0 0 514035 113565 -113565 -113565 OTHER INCOME 900099 3293 3293 3293 2152386 432975 0 -107735 276520 203319 47047 26154 1240288 910703 210914 118671 78923 63610 10384 4929 176272 142072 23192 11008 99916 80530 13146 6240 15974 15974 118209 118209 59455 46150 9730 3575 47264 23938 13446 9880 313729 255093 38871 19765 1795 529 1266 1477 1201 183 93 16700 16026 447 227 LIBRARY 17489 17478 7 4 LITIGATION 10137 10137 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 6338 5904 380 54 EQUIPMENT RENTAL & MAIN 3760 3057 466 237 795 735 40 20 2485041 1780482 385493 319066 71669 543853 1080827 848136 586920 359393 144127 146379 49138 54681 145853 140192 7138 5661 1939819 1958103 90179 177053 0 264065 90179 441118 X 1093788 1090790 755852 426195 1849640 1516985 1939819 1958103 -332655 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1176738 1076041 2248077 1500131 1827146 7828133 1176738 1076041 2248077 1500131 1827146 7828133 1287566 6540567 3991 3218 8034 10268 5830 31341 2436 7500 1740 2739 3293 17708 7877182 2633218 0.83030 0.83180 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 0 1 154 0 1 426 0 0 580 0 2014783 233494 699 847515 1401461 2294835 296348 683 577083 2014783 1779002 728583 583 213333 2294835 2009845 20275 132 251250 1779002 1876211 266603 31 133000 2009845 0.69589 0.30411 0 0 82217 82217 0 63636 57975 5661 5661 PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM LOAN 264065 264065 2289917 137531 137531 2152386 0 2152386 2622572 137531 137531 2485041 0 2485041 PART V, LINE 4: TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NEW ASSETS CONSISTS OF GRANTS THAT ARE RESTRICTED BY A DONOR FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE OR RELATE TO FUTURE PERIODS.
