We emphasize prevention, using a public health model, and we seek to build a strong, statewide, values-based movement to end gun violence that recognizes the issue as one of justice and human rights. 0 0 199379 0 61784 We have been working to prevent gun violence since 1991. We started out as Citizens for a Safer Minnesota - a coalition of 16 statewide medical, public health, law enforcement, social justice and faith groups. We passed the first law in the country preventing domestic abusers from purchasing guns, which later became the model for the national law, still in effect. In 2005, Citizens for a Safer Minnesota merged with Million Moms March Minnesota to create Protect Minnesota. We are committed to the public health approach to gun violence, focusing on prevention through evidence-based solutions and modifying the behavior of populations. We have a researcher on staff and have established the Northstar Public Health Conference on Gun Violence to make up-to-date national and state-based research on gun violence available to professionals across the state. We formed the Interfaith Alliance for Gun Safety because faith communities working together are the most powerful agents for change in Minnesota. We also sponsor five other member action teams through which we organize and mobilize key statewide constituencies. We are the driving force behind the Northstar Alliance to Prevent Gun Violence, an emerging statewide coalition of organizations committed to working together to prevent gun deaths. We work in partnership with national gun violence prevention groups, including The Brady Campaign, Giffords, Sandy Hook Promise, Every Town for Gun Safety, and Moms Demand Action, but receive no funding or support from them. We helped create States United to Prevent Gun Violence to coordinate our work with other state-based, independent gun violence prevention groups. 0 0 0 199379 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 18 0 1 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 MN X The Organization 6516453271 3500 Vicksburg Ln N Ste 400-128 Plymouth MN 55447 Sara Beth Mueller Interim Executive Director 40 5 X 60000 0 0 Nancy Nord Bence Executive Director 40 5 X 9820 0 0 Kris Heckler Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Vicki McKenna Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jay Thacker Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Sa'Lesha Beeks Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Charles Gessert MD Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Rabbi Sim Glaser Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Lee Henry Jordan Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Kate Havelin Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Laura Walvoord Vice Chair 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Reverend Dr Ron Letnes Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Mike Tieleman Treasurer 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Stephanie Schwartz Chair 10 0 X X 0 0 0 69820 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 416298 0 416298 Program Revenue 813319 61784 61784 0 0 0 0 0 0 61784 37 0 0 37 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 478119 61784 0 37 69820 12982 40910 15928 130855 91663 34340 4852 15624 10290 4359 975 19154 12615 5344 1195 694 694 15480 15480 10000 10000 39905 22175 9710 8020 7236 4875 1848 513 6180 3219 2318 643 1271 953 318 30085 27787 2298 1221 1221 Educational Event 3489 3489 0 0 Outreach 6958 6958 0 0 Community Organizing 2023 2023 0 0 Membership Dues 500 0 500 0 350 350 0 0 360845 199379 129340 32126 113032 245171 20544 11542 6801 4114 140377 260827 14931 18159 12788 12736 0 27719 30895 X 79163 128921 33495 101011 112658 229932 140377 260827 117274 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 X 0 0 0 X 148616 270543 467123 307813 416298 1610393 148616 270543 467123 307813 416298 1610393 1610393 11 15 41 74 37 178 20669 20669 1631240 165513 0.98722 0.9844 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 27787 0 27787 171592 199379 39876 9969 17818 0 0 43466 61721 63496 39876 208559 312839 0 14664 5161 27787 47612 10867 15430 15874 9969 52140 78210 0 5414 5161 27787 38362 0 1 X 0 0 X Schedule D, Part IV, Line 2b The amount recorded on line 21 is unspent cash belonging to the group for whom the Organization is acting as a fiscal agent.
