AT A TIME WHEN HARD-FOUGHT AND NEWLY-WON LEGAL PROTECTIONS FOR LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY ARE UNDER INTENSIFIED ATTACK, LAMBDA LEGAL HAS BEEN DEFENDING THE GAINS THAT WE HAVE MADE WHILE ALSO CONTINUING OUR AFFIRMATIVE DRIVE TO ACHIEVE FULL FORMAL AND LIVED EQUALITY FOR LGBTQ+ PEOPLE. OUR EFFORTS IN 2018 WERE FOCUSED IN FOUR KEY AREAS: (1) PROTECTING AND DEFENDING LGBTQ IDENTITIES AND RELATIONSHIPS; (2) SECURING AND EXPANDING NON-DISCRIMINATION PROTECTIONS; (3) CHALLENGING LAWS DRIVEN BY STIGMA RATHER THAN SCIENCE, PARTICULARLY IN THE AREA OF LGBTQ+ HEALTH; AND (4) ROOTING OUT ANTI-LGBTQ+ BIAS IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM. IN 2018, LAMBDA LEGAL WON IMPORTANT VICTORIES ADVANCING THESE GOALS. WITH RESPECT TO LGBTQ IDENTITIES AND RELATIONSHIPS, WE SUCCESSFULLY CHALLENGED LAWS IN IDAHO AND PUERTO RICO LIMITING THE ABILITY OF TRANSGENDER PEOPLE TO SECURE BIRTH CERTIFICATES WITH ACCURATE GENDER MARKERS, AND FILED LAWSUITS AGAINST SIMILAR LAWS IN OHIO AND KANSAS. WE SECURED A HISTORIC FEDERAL COURT WIN AGAINST THE STATE DEPARTMENT FOR REFUSING TO ISSUE AN ACCURATE PASSPORT TO AN INTERSEX, NON-BINARY PERSON. WE WON A RULING FROM THE MISSISSIPPI SUPREME COURT THAT MARRIED, NON-BIOLOGICAL PARENTS HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS REGARDLESS OF THE SEX OF THEIR SPOUSE. WE FILED MULTIPLE LAWSUITS AGAINST THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION FOR DISCRIMINATORY DENIALS OF FEDERAL SURVIVOR BENEFITS TO SURVIVING SAME-SEX SPOUSES. AND WE HAVE SUED TO DEFEND TRANSGENDER PEOPLE WHO ARE SERVING OR WISH TO SERVE IN OUR MILITARY, WHO HAVE BEEN TARGETED FOR DISCRIMINATION SIMPLY BECAUSE OF WHO THEY ARE. IN OUR ONGOING EFFORT TO SECURE AND EXPAND NON-DISCRIMINATION PROTECTIONS, WE BUILT UPON OUR GROUNDBREAKING 2017 VICTORY IN THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS BY CONVINCING ANOTHER FEDERAL COURT OF APPEALS (THE SECOND CIRCUIT) THAT THE PROHIBITION AGAINST SEX DISCRIMINATION IN TITLE VII OF THE 1964 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT COVERS DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION. WE WON THE FIRST-EVER TRIAL ON BEHALF OF A TRANSGENDER STUDENT WHO CHALLENGED HIS SCHOOL DISTRICT'S REFUSAL TO LET HIM USE APPROPRIATE FACILITIES. WE SUCCESSFULLY REPRESENTED MULTIPLE SAME-SEX COUPLES WHO EXPERIENCED DISCRIMINATION BY BUSINESS OWNERS WHO SOUGHT RELIGION-BASED EXEMPTIONS FROM STATE NON-DISCRIMINATION LAWS. WE ALSO PARTNERED WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS, COMMUNITY LEADERS AND CHILD WELFARE PROFESSIONALS TO OPPOSE BILLS THAT AIMED TO ALLOW PUBLICLY FUNDED AGENCIES TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST LGBTQ+ YOUTH IN CARE, AS WELL AS WOULD BE FOSTER FAMILIES, BASED ON SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND RELIGION. LAMBDA LEGAL ALSO FIGHTS NATIONALLY TO ENSURE THAT LAWS AND POLICIES AFFECTING THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF LGBTQ+ PEOPLE ARE GROUNDED IN SCIENCE, RATHER THAN DRIVEN BY STIGMA. TO THAT END, IN 2018, WE CHALLENGED THE U.S. MILITARY'S OUTDATED AND STIGMA-DRIVEN POLICY DENYING PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THEIR COUNTRY IN THE ARMED FORCES, AND HAVE PARTNERED WITH STATE-BASED ADVOCATES TO AMEND OR REPEAL DRACONIAN LAWS IMPOSING HARSHER PUNISHMENT ON SEXUAL ACTIVITY BY PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE CHALLENGED PUBLIC EMPLOYERS WHOSE HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS LIMIT THE ABILITY OF TRANSGENDER PEOPLE TO ACCESS MEDICALLY NECESSARY TRANSITION-RELATED CARE, AND OVERTURNED MISSOURI'S "FREEZE-FRAME" POLICY THAT DENIED MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE TO INCARCERATED TRANSGENDER PEOPLE. AND WITH RESPECT TO THE TREATMENT OF LGBTQ+ PEOPLE IN OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM, THROUGH OUR FAIR COURTS PROJECT, LAMBDA LEGAL HAS BEEN A LEADING VOICE DEFENDING THE INTEGRITY OF THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY. THROUGH ADVOCACY LETTERS AND OTHER PUBLIC EDUCATION EFFORTS, INCLUDING A NATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED YEAR-END REPORT, WE HAVE SOUNDED THE ALARM OVER JUDICIAL NOMINEES WITH RECORDS REVEALING DEEP HOSTILITY TO LGBTQ+ EQUALITY. AT THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL, WE EDUCATED THOUSANDS OF COURT OFFICIALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, INCREASING CULTURAL COMPETENCE ON LGBTQ+ ISSUES AND PROVIDING TOOLS FOR JUDGES TO ROOT OUT BIAS IN THEIR COURTROOMS. WE ALSO FILED NUMEROUS AMICUS BRIEFS IN CASES INVOLVING JUROR BIASES AND OTHER FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION FACED BY LGBTQ+ PEOPLE IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM. FINALLY, IN ADDITION TO THE WORK DESCRIBED ABOVE, LAMBDA LEGAL'S HELP DESK RESPONDED TO NEARLY 6,000 REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE IN 2018. 4342211 OUR LEGAL WORK IS SUPPORTED BY EXPANSIVE PUBLIC EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION EFFORTS THAT ALLOW US TO REACH A WIDE RANGE OF AUDIENCES ACROSS MANY CHANNELS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR MEDIA TEAM REGULARLY ENGAGES WITH A BROAD RANGE OF REPORTERS TO KEEP THEM, AND BY EXTENSION THEIR AUDIENCES, INFORMED ON LGBTQ+ RIGHTS ISSUES. MOREOVER, WE MAINTAINED A ROBUST ONLINE PRESENCE THAT PROVIDED COMPREHENSIVE RESOURCES, TIMELY NEWS, ANALYSIS, AND COMMENTARY ACROSS MULTIPLE PLATFORMS, INCLUDING OUR WEBSITE (WHICH HAD 1,005,658 VISITORS IN 2018), AS WELL AS FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, MEDIUM AND OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS. THROUGH THESE PLATFORMS, LAMBDA LEGAL HAS PUBLISHED HUNDREDS OF PIECES OF CONTENT THAT CAN REACH OVER A MILLION OR MORE PEOPLE EVERY WEEK. THESE COMBINED EFFORTS GENERATE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF NEWS STORIES ANNUALLY, AND ADVANCE OUR GOAL OF INCREASING AWARENESS OF THE CHALLENGES LGBTQ+ PEOPLE FACE AND OUR WORK TO ALLEVIATE THOSE CHALLENGES, AS WELL AS GREATER UNDERSTANDING WITHIN THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY OF THEIR LEGAL RIGHTS. FINALLY, LAMBDA LEGAL'S ATTORNEYS AND OTHER STAFF SPEAK AT DOZENS OF CONFERENCES EVERY YEAR, PROVIDING INSIGHT AND INFORMATION ON THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS AFFECTING LGBTQ+ RIGHTS. 11959832 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 92 0 1 144 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 27 27 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 AK AL AR AZ CA CO CT FL GA IL KS KY LA MA X CHARLES FIELDS 2128098585 120 WALL STREET 19TH FLOOR NEW YORK NY 100053919 ANDREW MITCHELL-NAMDAR DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 ANNE KROOK CHAIR 25.00 X X 0 0 0 ANNETTE CERBONE DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 CAROL MEYER DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL SLAUGHTER DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 DANIELLE PIERGALLINI DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID DEFIGUEIREDO VICE CHAIR 6.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID TSAI DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 ERIC JOHNSON DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 HOLLY THOMAS DIRECTOR (OUTGOING) 5.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN RICHARDS DIRECTOR (OUTGOING) 5.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN STAFSTROM VICE CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 JORDAN HEINZ DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 KATRINA QUICKER DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 KENNETH WEISSENBERG DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA MAECHTLEN DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 LAUREN MUTTI DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 LAWRENCE TRACHTENBERG DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 MICHELLE WAITES DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICK S MENASCO DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 RACHEL GOLDBERG TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 ROBERTA CONROY DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 RODERICK HAWKINS DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 SHERI BONSTELLE DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE WINTERS CO-CHAIR (OUTGOING) 5.00 X X 0 0 0 TODD SEARS DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 TRACEY WALLACE CO-CHAIR (OUTGOING) 5.00 X X 0 0 0 TRAYTON DAVIS DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 VADIM SCHICK SECRETARY 6.00 X X 0 0 0 VICKY G ROBINSON DIRECTOR (OUTGOING) 5.00 X 0 0 0 WENDY CHANG DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 YEMI A ADEGBONMIRE DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLES FIELDS COO 40.00 X 149672 0 37140 RACHEL B TIVEN CEO (OUTGOING) 40.00 X 308630 0 53178 RICHARD BURNS ICEO 40.00 X 81750 0 0 SHARON MCGOWAN CSO 40.00 X 233384 0 29421 CAMILLA TAYLOR DIRECTOR OF CONSITUTIONAL LITIGATION 40.00 X 184198 0 52550 DOROTHEE BENZ CHIEF COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER 40.00 X 211399 0 46430 JENNIFER PIZER DIRECTOR OF LAW & POLICY 40.00 X 169258 0 29208 NATALIE BLEDMAN DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION 40.00 X 169248 0 21969 WILLARD DUMAS DIRECTOR OF LEADERSHIP GIFTS 40.00 X 139165 0 28325 1646704 0 298221 8 0 1 0 RISING TIDE DIRECT 233 NEEDHAM STREET NEWTON MA 02464 MEMBERSHIP & DIRECT MAIL CONSULTING 120850 1 4074678 12696372 602853 16771050 ATTORNEY FEES 541100 94517 94517 94517 457906 457906 5502 0 5502 5502 5502 18024388 17648169 376219 376219 376219 515170 4074678 872366 -357196 -357196 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 541100 2941 2941 SPEAKER REVENUE 900099 1000 1000 3941 17351939 98458 0 482431 887001 506127 187602 193272 8174056 6185366 584414 1404276 114948 86438 9086 19424 1586930 1190534 127293 269103 726735 537401 61615 127719 37806 37806 229185 229185 119277 119277 1443645 310861 705429 427355 2344672 1188507 172012 984153 1361641 1006897 115444 239300 652693 292356 128516 231821 220265 162880 18675 38710 80475 59509 6823 14143 BAD DEBT EXPENSE 290536 290536 RECRUITMENT AND TRAININ 210706 155812 17864 37030 DIRECT CASE EXPENSES 144546 144546 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 67195 49689 5697 11809 60994 45103 5172 10719 18753306 11959832 2555455 4238019 X 443326 223166 0 220160 2785673 2370394 1522375 1674509 932009 690258 374196 1907745 1167924 944163 739821 12496906 8792315 3488863 3420382 21665093 18566771 1022060 1121350 62502 27751 1976555 1933856 3061117 3082957 X 14924508 11826139 3256378 3234585 423090 423090 18603976 15483814 21665093 18566771 X -1401367 -1364907 -353888 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 16186205 17554748 15751957 4893667 16770866 71157443 16186205 17554748 15751957 4893667 16770866 71157443 71157443 218297 286800 404571 162150 463408 1535226 16890 3954978 3976108 635893 4078616 12662485 85355154 5002523 0.83370 0.97570 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: MISCELLANEOUS REV - 2014 AMOUNT: $ 16,890. 2015 AMOUNT: $ 19,089. 2016 AMOUNT: $ 8,264. 2017 AMOUNT: $ 31,102. 2018 AMOUNT: $ 3,938.
