Pangea led 17 public campaigns to advocate for the release of clients in detention centers. Many of these detained cases required multiple appeals and litigation at higher courts, which resulted in 4 federal court victories. Pangea attorneys also conducted over 112 consultations for individuals in detention, some of which included extensive follow-ups, legal research, referrals, and brief legal services. Relatedly, in August 2019, ICE arrested 680 immigrant workers in Mississippi as part of the biggest ever workplace immigration raid in a single state. Pangea responded and organized across the U.S. to take on pro bono cases. Pangea also represented three affected families on a pro bono basis. A Pangea attorney traveled to the ICE detention center in Louisiana twice to represent three detained individuals, advocating forcefully to obtain hearings before the court, and ultimately securing the release of two fathers while continuing to appeal a third case. Avenues to lawful status for our clients included asylum, withholding of removal, protection under the Convention Against Torture, cancellation of removal, U Visas, T Visas, and adjustment of status. Representation included bond hearings, merits hearings, motions to reopen, appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, petitions before the Federal District Court, credible fear interviews and reasonable fear interviews. 160233 195 0 Education and Legal Empowerment: In July 2019, after receiving news of impending raids, Pangea and Bay Area rapid response networks spoke out at rallies to denounce ICE's plans, helped lead a press conference at SFO to expose ICE's scare tactics, and delivered demand letters to ICE field offices. Pangea attorneys also responded to reports of ICE arrests coming through the rapid response hotlines. When ICE denied Pangea attorneys access to individuals arrested in the raids, Pangea and the ACLU sued ICE. As a result, a federal judge put ICE on notice that it must provide individuals with the right to speak to an attorney before deporting them. These actions contributed to massive community mobilization that ultimately preempted raids in the Bay Area on the day the Administration threatened thousands of arrests. Furthermore, the promotores program- a curriculum to train immigrant leaders to advocate for their own cases and communities- expanded to Santa Clara County in 2019 and trained 25 directly affected families. So far, 15 graduates of the program, including three Pangea clients, have become full-time organizers, forming their own organization, and are members with voting rights of the Steering Committee for the Santa Clara County Rapid Response Network (SCCRRN). 20908 0 0 Policy Advocacy: Pangea continued serving as fiscal lead of FREE-SF, a coalition of nonprofit organizations in San Francisco that that advocates against the co-inflation of criminal and immigration issues. In 2019, Pangea proudly advocated for AB 32, a new law in California that will prohibit the operation of private, for-profit prisons, including facilities that operate as immigration detention centers, along with our community and an intersectional coalition of immigrant rights and criminal justice advocates. Pangea clients educated the public and lawmakers on the need to abolish prisons by sharing first hand experiences. As soon as we passed this bill, the private prison company GEO Group and the federal government sued California. While awaiting a final ruling from the federal court, Pangea and community members throughout the state are working together to push back on new expansions of private prisons and uphold the law. On the local level, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors announced in early 2019 that it would consider changes to the county's sanctuary policy, and engage in greater collaboration with ICE. In response, Pangea and the Forum for Immigrant Rights & Empowerment (FIRE) Coalition sprang into action. Five Pangea clients spoke directly to the Board about their experience of ICE terrorizing immigrant families. After hearing testimony, the Board voted unanimously not only to maintain the county's sanctuary policy, but to clarify and strengthen it, making it the strictest non-cooperation policy with ICE in the nation. 0 0 0 885398 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 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 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 1 15 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X The Organization 4152540475 350 Sansome Street Ste 650 San Francisco CA 94104 Niloufar Khonsari Executive Director 34 0 X 58851 0 6720 Leah Price Board Chair 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Elaine Orr Vice-Chair 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Suman Murthy Archival Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 George Madrigal Financial Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Jesus Ruiz Diego Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Orlando Montalvo Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sarah Stephens Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 58851 0 6720 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4980 0 666429 570061 0 1241470 Direct Client Representation Fees 541100 114422 114422 0 0 Technical Assistance Fees 541199 7106 7106 0 0 0 0 0 0 121528 2691 0 0 2691 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3720 4980 2341 1379 0 1379 0 1367068 121528 0 4070 0 0 195 195 0 0 66747 51649 8964 6134 616533 521992 87663 6878 11746 9978 1644 124 59973 49877 9505 591 55924 46982 7923 1019 0 8593 8593 82927 78748 4174 5 868 504 361 3 24924 20458 2981 1485 7492 5512 1614 366 96371 81027 13596 1748 6016 5919 72 25 1992 1830 162 0 5928 4998 826 104 Client Related Expenses 5729 5729 0 0 1051958 885398 148078 18482 609206 411083 0 502665 150156 157704 21054 20494 780416 1091946 16857 13277 100 100 16957 13377 X 609568 986503 153891 92066 763459 1078569 780416 1091946 315110 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 194750 401049 1000158 1004246 1241470 3841673 194750 401049 1000158 1004246 1241470 3841673 240045 3601628 726 2691 3417 3845090 779789 0.93668 0.92500 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 17957 17957 1034000 1051957 180196 45049 0 0 88429 153209 160936 180196 582770 874155 8854 24369 24757 17957 75937 22107 38302 40234 45049 145692 218538 0 0 0 0 0 Client fees held in trust 100 100 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b It is the Organization's policy to provide a completed copy of the Form 990 with accompanying schedules to the Board of Directors via e-mail.
