We ensure the richness and diversity of the immigrant experience is heard both inside and outside the courtroom. Impact legislation is an important tool to advance the rights of immigrants. JAC litigates a select number of cases designed to address unmet needs of immigrant communities. JAC also provides legal expertise and litigates directly with providers of direct legal services to immigrants or other litigators on civil rights issues impacting immigrants. The cases on JAC's docket are primarily in federal court, but JAC will litigate in select state courts as necessary to produce optimal results for immigrant communities. Communications: Justice Action Center's JAC model depends on placing equal emphasis on storytelling and litigation. We recognize that winning a lawsuit alone will not lead to the systemic change we seek. We strive to build a new framework that uses litigation and narrative work to tangibly improve immigrants' lives. JAC produces original communications and digital content focused on the immigrant experience and perspectives. Our storytelling work is designed to strive to tangibly improve immigrants' lives and is rooted in the notion that transformative change will only occur when dominant narratives about immigration and belonging shift. These shifts are part of a broader ecosystem of work JAC seeks to participate in that ecosystem by using the microphone provided by litigation to center and uplift immigrant stories. Moreover, we aim to decode the legal system to help dismantle what is often a barrier to action and advocacy by immigrants and advocates. 2152531 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 10 0 true 14 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 4 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false true true false false CA X Karen Tumlin 3233160944 PO Box 27280 Los Angeles CA 90027 Karen Tumlin Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 231375 0 20652 Veonta Weathers Head of People 40.00 0.00 155825 0 23199 Esther Sung Legal Director 40.00 0.00 148400 0 19026 Adela Hart Deputy Director 40.00 0.00 153946 0 0 Tasha Moro Communications Dir 40.00 0.00 134825 0 8031 Gabriel Sandoval Treasurer 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lynn Tramonte Secretary 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sonali Kolhatkar Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andre Segura Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 824371 70908 5 false true false Tom-Tsvi M Jawetz 1358 Jefferson Street NW Washington DC 20011 program services 100988 WEARERALLY 5670 Wilshire Blvd Suite 820 Los Angeles CA 90036 program services 100000 1 3607898 3607898 0 36068 36068 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3643966 36068 X 0 0 0 0 231375 201296 16196 13883 0 1106019 902468 188973 14578 0 169084 139371 26154 3559 102309 84437 15695 2177 0 0 31573 31573 0 0 0 555518 539636 15882 0 35055 30278 3995 782 34603 29303 4661 639 0 0 129043 80518 42834 5691 0 0 0 0 0 14449 14347 81 21 fees-bank, court filing, other 116490 113581 2909 subscriptions, reference 19372 17296 198 1878 0 2544890 2152531 349151 43208 2222249 2364895 1216068 606500 645000 12765 20043 0 0 0 0 2200 22164 0 0 0 0 0 0 2843714 4268170 95881 289261 132000 95881 421261 X 817378 1143127 1930455 2703782 2747833 3846909 2843714 4268170 1099076 X false true X true false X 946108 1546966 1370958 3088118 3607898 10560048 0 0 946108 1546966 1370958 3088118 3607898 10560048 4610992 5949056 36068 36068 0 3920 3920 10600036 0.56120 0.61260 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X 3643966 3643966 3643966 2544890 2544890 2544890 Part X : FIN48 Footnote Justice Action Center has analyzed its tax position for the year ended December 31, 2024, and has determined that there were no significant uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements, or that might have any effect on its tax-exempt status.

A copy of the 990 was provided to the board prior to filing with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Each person subject to the conflict of interest policy annually signs a statement on the conflict of interest disclosure form or such other form as the board adopts, which at a minimum affirms that the person has received a copy of the policy has read and understands the policy has agreed to comply with the policy and understands the corporation is charitable and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. Prior to voting on a contract, transaction or matter in which an actual conflict of interest is found to exist, the board or committee will follow the procedures described: a the interested person makes a presentation at the board or committee meeting at which such transaction is being considered, but after the presentation, he or she leaves the meeting during the discussion or, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. b The chairperson of the board or the committee, if appropriate, appoints a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. c After exercising due diligence, the board or committee determining whether the corporation could obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. d If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the board or committee determining whether the transaction or arrangement is in the corporation's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination, the board makes its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement by the vote. If the board has reasonable cause to believe that an interested person has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it informs the interested person of the basis for such belief and affords the interested person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the interested person's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the board determines the interested person has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it takes appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.

This was discussed in detail with the treasurer and the salary was approved by the board.
