IT IS THE PREMIERE IMMIGRANT RIGHTS ORGANIZATION THAT EFFECTIVELY COMBINES LEGISLATIVE AND POLICY ADVOCACY, STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS, ORGANIZING AND CAPACITY BUILDING TO PURSUE ITS MISSION. IT IS POWERED BY A STAFF OF POLICY EXPERTS AND ADVOCATES; A STEERING COMMITTEE COMPOSED OF 14 STATEWIDE ORGANIZATIONS; 85 MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS; AND NINE REGIONAL COALITION PARTNERS SPANNING SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, THE CENTRAL COAST AND THE CENTRAL VALLEY. 0 0 694726 176000 COMMUNITY ORGANIZING AND POLICY WORK ARE CORE TO CIPC'S THEORY OF CHANGE. KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR THE ORGANIZING AND POLICY TEAM INCLUDE TRACKING 83 BILLS IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND PROVIDING MEANINGFUL ANALYSIS INCLUDING BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS TO MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE AND THEIR STAFF. EQUALLY SIGNIFICANT IS THE TRAINING OUR TEAMS PROVIDE TO OUR NETWORK OF COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS SO THAT THEY MAY REMAIN WELL INFORMED ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES IN THE STATEHOUSE AND THE PROCESS A BILL UNDERGOES TO BECOME AN EFFECTIVE LAW. IN 2018, CIPC LED CA PROTECTING IMMIGRANT FAMILIES, A NETWORK OF 75 ORGANIZATIONS, TO MOBILIZE AND INFORM IMPACTED COMMUNITIES ABOUT THE PROPOSED "PUBLIC CHARGE" REGULATION. THEIR ADVOCACY AND OUTREACH EFFORTS RESULTED IN THE SUBMISSION OF APPROXIMATELY 10,000 COMMENTS AGAINST THE PROPOSAL. CIPC CONDUCTED 110 KNOW YOUR HEALTH CARE RIGHTS PRESENTATIONS AND PROVIDED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND TRAINING ABOUT THE PROPOSED PUBLIC CHARGE REGULATION. CIPC ALSO SPEARHEADED A RESEARCH PROJECT ALONG WITH THE CHILDREN'S PARTNERSHIP, WHICH CULMINATED IN THE HEALTHY MIND, HEALTHY FUTURE REPORT AND A STATEWIDE SYMPOSIUM.EACH YEAR, CIPC HOSTS THE LARGEST CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND ADVOCACY DAY IN SACRAMENTO. NEARLY 1,000 IMMIGRANT RIGHTS' LEADERS AND ADVOCATES, REPRESENTING MORE THAN 75 ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE, RALLY IN MAY DEMANDING COURAGEOUS ACTION FROM OUR STATE GOVERNMENT TO PRESERVE AND EXPAND HEALTH AND OTHER SOCIAL SAFETY NET PROGRAMS, IMMIGRANT INCLUSION INVESTMENTS AND DETENTION AND DEPORTATION RELATED JUSTICE. IN DECEMBER 2018, CIPC BROUGHT TOGETHER 296 IMMIGRANT RIGHTS ADVOCATES AND ORGANIZERS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE AND COUNTRY FOR THE CIPC STATEWIDE CONFERENCE. OVER 160 GROUPS WERE REPRESENTED IN LOS ANGELES ON WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5 FOR A DAY OF POWERFUL DISCUSSIONS TO TRANSFORM OUR PRESENT AND CLAIM OUR FUTURE. 13 PLENARIES FOR THE DAY BROUGHT POLICY, ORGANIZING, LEGISLATIVE, AND MEDIA EXPERTS TO DISCUSS STRENGTHENING POLICY, COMMUNICATIONS, ADVOCACY, AND ORGANIZING. ENGAGED IN POWERFUL AND STRATEGIC DISCUSSIONS, LEADERS LEFT PREPARED TO CHAMPION IMMIGRANT JUSTICE IN 2019. 691072 56883 STRATEGIC MESSAGING AND COMMUNICATIONS IS ANOTHER ESSENTIAL PROGRAM AT CIPC. WE HAVE SERVED AS THE COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT FOR THE IMMIGRANT RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN CA FOR NEARLY A DECADE. IN 2018 WE FORMALIZED OUR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WORK BY DEVELOPING A RAPID RESPONSE COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGY WITH PARTNERS. WE ALSO CREATED A COMMUNICATIONS TOOL-KIT TO TRAIN AND COACH STAFF OF REGIONAL PARTNERS WHO OFTEN HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES AND DEDICATED COMMUNICATIONS CAPACITY, SO THAT THEY CAN ELEVATE THE STORIES OF IMPACTED PEOPLE AND EXPRESS THEIR PERSPECTIVE ON STATE AND LOCAL POLICY ISSUES AS THEY IMPACT THE MOST VULNERABLE IMMIGRANTS. IN ADDITION TO TRAINING AND PROVIDING SPECIFIC MESSAGING SUPPORT, CIPC IS ALSO INVESTED IN DEEPLY UNDERSTANDING THE ANTI- IMMIGRANT SENTIMENT IN THE US. IN 2018 WE CONDUCTED POLLING, PHONE BANKING, FOCUS GROUPS AND DOOR TO DOOR CANVASSING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT LANGUAGE IS EFFECTIVE IN COMPELLING PEOPLE TO BE SYMPATHETIC VS WHAT TRIGGERS PEOPLE'S ANXIETY. THE MULTIYEAR PROJECT ACCOMPLISHED THE FOLLOWING IN ITS FIRST YEAR: 1. INCREASED CAPACITY AMONG FIELD TESTING ORGANIZATIONS IN IMPLEMENTING A "DEEP CANVASS" APPROACH TO DOOR-TO-DOOR CANVASSING. THE FRESNO FIELD TEAM APPLIED ELEMENTS OF DEEP CANVASSING INTO THEIR FALL 2018 CIVIC ENGAGEMENT CAMPAIGN THROUGH THE WAY THAT THEY STRUCTURED THEIR SCRIPT AND BY ADDING SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO ELICIT A STORY FROM THE VOTER. THEY ALSO EXPANDED THEIR REACH INTO GEOGRAPHIC AREAS WHERE THEY HADN'T PREVIOUSLY HAD A PRESENCE, INCLUDING NORTH FRESNO AND CLOVIS. THE FRESNO TEAM ENVISIONS INCLUDING DEEP CANVASSING IN FUTURE TRAININGS, IN HOW THEY SHAPE CANVASSING SCRIPTS, COACH GRASSROOTS LEADERS AROUND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, THINK ABOUT CAMPAIGNS, AND TEST MESSAGING THAT BUILDS BRIDGES. THE ORANGE COUNTY FIELD TEAM HAS TAKEN THE KEY LEARNINGS FROM THIS PROJECT TO INFORM THEIR STRATEGIC PLANNING. THEY ALSO INCORPORATED DEEP CANVASSING LESSONS INTO FALL 2018 CIVIC ENGAGEMENT CAMPAIGNS, INCLUDING SCRIPT DEVELOPMENT AND CONVERSATIONAL TECHNIQUES FOR STATE BALLOT PROPOSITIONS. 2. INCREASED CAPACITY IN FIELD TESTING SITES IN IMPLEMENTING A "DEEP CANVASS" APPROACH TO DOOR-TO-DOOR CANVASSING. BOTH THE FRESNO AND TENNESSEE CANVASS TEAMS HIRED FORMER CANVASSERS INTO FULL TIME STAFF POSITIONS FOLLOWING THE SUMMER CANVASS AND MORE THAN HALF OF THE ORANGE COUNTY CANVASS TEAM HAS COMMITTED TO RETURNING TO DEEP CANVASSING FOR FUTURE CAMPAIGNS. AN ELITE TEAM OF ORANGE COUNTY CANVASSERS DEEPENED THEIR CAPACITY THROUGH POST-CAMPAIGN VIDEO CANVASSING BETWEEN JANUARY-MARCH 2019. QUOTES FROM CANVASSERS 3. NEW KNOWLEDGE AND HYPOTHESES ABOUT THE CHARACTERISTICS OF INTERNAL CONFLICT ABOUT IMMIGRATION AMONG VOTERS.THE FIELD TESTING TEAM COMPLETED "ITERATIVE AND "MEASUREMENT" CANVASSES IN ORANGE COUNTY, FRESNO COUNTY, AND GREATER NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE. DURING THE ITERATIVE PHASE OF CANVASSING, THE THREE CANVASS TEAMS DID INCREDIBLE WORK: APPROXIMATELY 402 DEEP CANVASS CONVERSATIONS, CONDUCTED 30 CANVASSES, GENERATED 25 SCRIPT ITERATIONS, AND ACHIEVED A 38% AVERAGE AT-THE-DOOR PERSUASION RATE. THROUGH ITERATION ALL THREE TEAMS ARRIVED AT SCRIPTS THAT THEY ASSESSED WERE EFFECTIVE FOR "MOVING" CONFLICTED VOTERS. THOUGH THE LOCAL ISSUES THAT THEY OPEN WITH ARE DIFFERENT, ALL THREE SCRIPTS EMPLOY CURIOUS, STRATEGIC QUESTIONS AND SEEK TO FORGE CONNECTION AND BUILD EMPATHY WITH VOTERS FROM A SHARED VALUE OF COMPASSION/GOLDEN RULE.4. NEW KNOWLEDGE AND BEST PRACTICES FOR RESOLVING INTERNAL CONFLICTS ABOUT IMMIGRATION IN WAYS THAT BUILD SUPPORT FOR IMMIGRANTS AND PRO-IMMIGRANT POLICIES. AS UNDERSTANDING OF OUR AUDIENCES DEEPENS, WE WELCOME CONVERSATION WITH PEERS IN PURSUIT OF COMMON LANGUAGE AND SHARED FRAMEWORKS FOR COMMUNICATING TO A DIVERSITY OF AUDIENCES ACROSS A RANGE OF ISSUES. WE OFFER OUR BUILDING BLOCK HYPOTHESIS AS ONE APPROACH THAT CAN BE APPLIED AND ADAPTED TO DIFFERENT CONTEXTS, AND WE INVITE FURTHER CONVERSATION AND ITERATIVE EXPERIMENTATION WITH OTHERS ABOUT ITS UTILITY. WITHIN THIS APPROACH WE SEE VALUE IN CONTINUING TO EXPLORE ADDITIONAL APPROACHES AND STRATEGIES. 488217 0 OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 1874015 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 24 0 1 27 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 CA X CYNTHIA BUIZA 2132500880 634 S SPRING STREET NO 600A LOS ANGELES CA 90014 KATHARINE GIN CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RACHELLE REYES WENGER TREASURER 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 TOM K WONG SECRETARY 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RICHARD BARRERA DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HECTOR VILLAGRA DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 XOCHITL CASTANEDA DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RESHMA SHAMASUNDER DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RITU GOSWAMY DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA BUIZA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 X 74957 0 0 74957 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6424879 6424879 3896 3896 6428775 0 0 3896 X 205608 205608 27275 27275 74957 55615 8048 11294 786464 583524 84446 118494 13239 9823 1421 1995 75035 55673 8057 11305 72822 54030 7819 10973 2250 300 1950 32960 32960 551988 528023 22443 1522 2156 1153 724 279 69001 52881 14382 1738 25192 22740 2386 66 85867 71459 14395 13 84638 60577 16729 7332 119819 85756 23683 10380 10263 9417 846 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMEN 53302 36601 12857 3844 DUES & PUBLICATIONS 15003 8354 3093 3556 TRAINING & MATERIALS 5346 3826 1057 463 1800 1380 420 2314985 1874015 257716 183254 3295064 178608 864366 1110 0 7055 0 4346203 232413 0 232413 X 1787285 2326505 0 4113790 0 4346203 4113790 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 6424879 6424879 6424879 6424879 2099056 4325823 3896 3896 6428775 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3188 19182 22370 2109361 2131731 256587 64147 0 0 256587 256587 384881 22370 22370 64147 64147 96221 3188 3188 0 6428775 0 6428775 0 6428775 2314985 0 2314985 0 2314985 1 ALLIANCE SAN DIEGO PO BOX 12266 SAN DIEGO CA 92212 261712580 501(C)(3) 9000 FISCAL SPONSOR FOR REGIONAL PARTNER ORGANIZATION, ASD CENTRAL COAST ALLIANCE UNITED FOR A SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY 2021 SPERRY AVENUE VENTURA CA 93003 770578864 501(C)(3) 9000 FISCAL SPONSOR FOR REGIONAL PARTNER ORGANIZATION CCIRC COMMUNITY PARTNERS 1000 N ALAMEDA STREET SUITE 240 LOS ANGELES CA 90012 954302067 501(C)(3) 9000 FISCAL SPONSOR FOR REGIONAL PARTNER ORGANIZATION, LBIRC EAST BAY ALLIANCE FOR A SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY 360 14TH STREET OAKLAND CA 94612 943314108 501(C)(3) 9000 FISCAL SPONSOR FOR REGIONAL PARTNER ORGANIZATION, CCIRA FAITH IN THE VALLEY 2027 E HARDING WAY STOCKTON CA 95205 770635938 501(C)(3) 75000 IMMIGRANT STRATEGIC MESSAGING RESEARCH CANVASSING INLAND CONGREGATIONS UNITED FOR CHANGE 1441 NORTH D STREET SAN BERNARDINO CA 92405 330480298 501(C)(3) 9000 FISCAL SPONSOR FOR REGIONAL PARTNER ORGANIZATION, ICIJ MEXICAN AMERICAN LEGAL DEFENSE AND EDUCATION FUND 634 S SPRING ST LOS ANGELES CA 90014 741563270 501(C)(3) 9000 CAPACITY BUILDING SUPPORT TO REGIONAL PARTNER ORGANIZATION ORANGE COUNTY CONGREGATION COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION 310 W BROADWAY ANAHEIM CA 92805 953196836 501(C)(3) 75000 IMMIGRANT STRATEGIC MESSAGING RESEARCH CANVASSING 8 STIPENDS 6 27275 PART I, LINE 2: WE SELECTED OUR PARTNERS TO REPRESENT DIVERSE COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA, COVERING NORTHERN, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE STATE. CIPC IDENTIFIED EXISTING ANCHOR ORGANIZATIONS AND COALITIONS IN THE DIFFERENT REGIONS AND PILOTED THE PROJECT IN 2013. BASED ON THE SUCCESS OF THE FIRST YEAR, THE REGIONAL COALITIONS BECAME A COHORT THAT HAS SINCE BEEN WORKING TOWARDS THE GOALS OF: ADDRESSING THE URGENT WORK OF CONNECTING IMMIGRANT RIGHTS ISSUES WITH OTHER ISSUES CONFRONTING MANY COMMUNITIES OF COLOR; BRIDGING THE GEOGRAPHICAL AND ECONOMIC DIVIDES BETWEEN RURAL, SUBURBAN, AND URBAN AREAS; AND HARNESSING THEIR POWER TO REPRESENT THEIR COMMUNITIES IN STATE AND FEDERAL ADVOCACY. ALTHOUGH THE REGIONAL COALITIONS ARE IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS IN CALIFORNIA, THEY FACE SIMILAR BARRIERS TO SUCCESS, SUCH AS: DEVELOPING LOCAL CAMPAIGNS, OPERATING WITH LIMITED AND MAINLY VOLUNTEER DRIVEN RESOURCES, CHANGING THE PUBLIC DEBATE ON IMMIGRANT ISSUES IN THEIR REGION, AND CONNECTING TO LARGER POLICY EFFORTS AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS. THE REGIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECT IS AN INVESTMENT IN REGIONAL AND LOCAL COALITIONS TO ENSURE THAT LOCAL REALITIES AND ISSUES ARE REPRESENTED AND HAVE IMPACT ON DECISIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS BEING MADE AT THE STATE LEVEL.
