Explanation	Micah Parkin is Colorado Rising's Secretary and a director. She is also the Executive Director of 350 Colorado Action, a 501(c)(4) organization. Ms Parkin serves as a volunteer for both organizations and is not compensated by either. Ms Parkin is compensated, however, by 350 Colorado, an organization that is related to 350 Colorado Action but is not related to Colorado Rising. 350 Colorado Action became a petition signature-gatherer entity for Colorado Rising during the summer of 2018, and Colorado Rising compensated them for their services. Colorado Rising also compensated two other firms for signature-gathering services. Ms Parkin received no personal benefit or compensation from this transaction.	ExplanationTxt
