Programs address spotlighting the abuse of animals on farms, the depletion of natural resources, unfair working conditions for produce workers, and the unavailability of healthy foods in low-income areas. As part of our work advocating for access to healthy foods in communities of color and low-income communities, we launched our report on our assessment of the availability of healthy foods in Vallejo, CA (in English and Spanish). We also coordinated a Vallejo Healthy Food Fest where we launched our report and provided vegan food for free, as well as had speakers and performers. Additionally, we launched our on-line petition against Safeway for putting restrictive deeds on their former properties preventing grocery stores from moving in. Conducted outreach in front of a local chicken slaughterhouse encouraging people to have compassion for animals and go vegan. Provided a list (available online and through a free mobile app), updated monthly, that indexes chocolate companies that we do and do not recommend based on self-reported country of origin supplies of chocolate/cacao. The list is available in English, Spanish, and German. Organized a protest in front of the State Agency responsible for impacting the education of the children of farm workers. Held our annual school supply drive for the children of farm workers in the Bay Area. Items distributed include, but are not limited to, backpacks, notebooks, pencils, crayons, and pens. Delivered hundreds of school supplies to more than 300 children of farm workers. Participated in numerous interviews, talks and podcasts. 0 81657 81657 Lauren Ornelas Director, President & Secretary 40 29000 0 0 Sharon Daraphonhdeth Director 4 0 0 0 Rick Kelley Director & Treasurer 2 0 0 0 Brooke Adkins Director 4.5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA Lauren Ornelas 963 Transport Way Suite 1 Petaluma CA 94954 7077798004 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 26923 42210 77106 84004 138556 368799 1407 984 2906 9900 10348 25545 28330 43194 80012 93904 148904 394344 1346 1160 0 570 579 3655 13000 23000 46986 38040 90000 211026 14346 24160 46986 38610 90579 214681 179663 8 5 7 11 15 46 0 8 5 7 11 15 46 28338 43199 80019 93915 148919 394390 0.45555 0.515 0.00012 0.0002 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Cost of events;2974|Conferences and fairs;1979|Insurance;3182|Travel;4627|Office supplies and equipment;3471|Systems expenses;2963|Meals and entertainment including volunteer expenses;1001|Other operating expenses;901^Total;21098^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Description;EOY Amount^Inventories;2548^Total;2548^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^Payroll taxes payable;2412|Accrued payroll;2175|Sales taxes payable;304^Total;4891^
