OUR MISSION IS TO BUILD THE POWER AND CAPACITY OF LOW-INCOME PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE OF COLOR, TO CHANGE THE POLICIES AND INSTITUTIONS THAT AFFECT THEIR LIVES. IT'S TIME FOR A PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT THAT UNITES ALL OF OUR ISSUES AND REPRESENTS THE AUTHENTIC VOICES OF PEOPLE MOST AFFECTED BY SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC INJUSTICE. THE CENTER FOR COMMUNITY CHANGE ACTION IS A VEHICLE TO HELP BUILD THIS MOVEMENT. THE CORE ISSUES ADDRESSED ARE IMMIGRATION, ECONOMIC JUSTICE, AND RACIAL AND GENDER JUSTICE. 0 0 4494394 1760505 565332 CCC ACTION WORKED INTENSIVELY WITH GRASSROOTS PARTNERS TO ADVOCATE ON A VARIETY OF ISSUES RELATED TO IMMIGRANT RIGHTS. CCC ACTION CONTINUED TO SUPPORT REFORM IMMIGRATION FOR AMERICA (RI4A), THE ONLINE ORGANIZING ARM OF THE IMMIGRATION REFORM MOVEMENT. THROUGH EMAIL, PHONEBANKING, TEXT MESSAGES, AND SOCIAL MEDIA, WE MADE SURE THAT CONGRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE HEARD THE VOICES OF REAL PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SINCE JANUARY 2013, RI4A HAS DRIVEN 3.3 MILLION CONTACTS TO CONGRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE, INCLUDING 445,000 PHONE CALLS--THE MOST DIFFICULT KIND OF CONTACT TO GENERATE BECAUSE IT REQUIRES MORE PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT AND EFFORT THAN SIGNING AN ONLINE PETITION OR SENDING AN EMAIL. OUR ONLINE PROGRAM HAS SURPASSED MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION PARTICIPANTS/ACTIVISTS ACROSS ALL CHANNELS INCLUDING NEARLY 900,000 FACEBOOK MEMBERS AND 250,000 ON OUR TEXT MESSAGE LIST. CCC ACTION ALSO WORKED WITH PARTNERS IN COLORADO, FLORIDA AND NEVADA ON ITS IMMIGRATION VOTER PROJECT THAT IDENTIFIED LOW-PROPENSITY VOTERS IN THESE STATES. THE IVP WORK WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN PROPELLING THE FIRST LATINA U.S. SENATOR INTO OFFICE, FROM NEVADA. IVP WORK IN COLORADO ALSO KEPT THE STATE BLUE. CCC ACTION'S EFFORTS ON RETIREMENT SECURITY CONTINUED TO EMPHASIZE PROTECTING SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID FROM CUTS, AND ADVOCATING FOR POSITIVE CHANGES SUCH AS CAREGIVERS' CREDIT IN SOCIAL SECURITY. WE CONVENED OUR FIELD PARTNERS ON GROUP CONFERENCE CALLS EVERY TWO WEEKS, AND USUALLY TALKED OR CHATTED ONLINE WITH ORGANIZATIONS EVERY FEW DAYS TO GENERATE IDEAS AND SHARE INFORMATION. DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD, OUR PARTNER GROUPS ORGANIZED HUNDREDS OF EVENTS WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE. CCC ACTION HAS BEEN RECRUITING, TRAINING AND MOBILIZING PEER EDUCATORS - CALLED GRASSROOTS AMBASSADORS - TO INFORM THEIR COMMUNITIES ABOUT THE TRUE FACTS SURROUNDING RETIREMENT SECURITY PROGRAMS, USING THEIR OWN PERSONAL STORIES AS A WAY TO ENGAGE PEOPLE. THIS YEAR, WE PARTNERED WITH GROUPS IN 15 STATES AND WASHINGTON, DC, TO RECRUIT AND TRAIN APPROXIMATELY 320 GRASSROOTS AMBASSADORS, AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TO TRANSLATE COMPLEX POLICY ANALYSIS AND DATA INTO MATERIALS FOR THEM TO USE AND SHARE WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND POLICY MAKERS. THESE GRASSROOTS AMBASSADORS BRING BOTH PASSION AND EXPERTISE TO THEIR EFFORTS TO USE THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES TO PERSUADE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO PROTECT AND STRENGTHEN SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID. THE HOUSING TRUST FUND TEAM PROVIDED TECHNICAL AND STRATEGIC ASSISTANCE TO MORE THAN 35 LOCAL AND STATE HOUSING TRUST FUND CAMPAIGNS. BECAUSE THE CREATION OR EXPANSION OF A HOUSING TRUST FUND REQUIRES AN ELECTED BODY TO DESIGNATE PERMANENT SOURCES OF PUBLIC REVENUE, EACH CAMPAIGN INCLUDES NOT ONLY PUBLIC EDUCATION BUT GRASSROOTS LOBBYING AT THE CITY, COUNTY OR STATE LEVEL. WE COUNT AMONG OUR SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGNS THIS YEAR THE CREATION OF FIVE NEW HOUSING TRUST FUNDS AND THE ADDITION OF REVENUE TO MORE THAN 17 EXISTING HOUSING TRUST FUNDS. HERE ARE RESULTS OF SOME OF THE WORK WE SUPPORTED: 1) PENNSYLVANIA DEDICATED UP TO $25 MILLION ANNUAL REVENUE FROM REALTY TRANSFER TAX REVENUES TO THE PENNSYLVANIA HOUSING AFFORDABILITY AND REHABILITATION ENHANCEMENT FUND; 2) KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN VOTERS PASSED A PROPERTY MILLAGE TO FUND LOCAL HOUSING ASSISTANCE FUND; 3) NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE ENACTED AN AIRBNB TAX DEDICATED TO THE BARNES HOUSING TRUST FUND. 4494394 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 15 0 1 5 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 AL AK AR CA CO CT FL GA HI IL KS LA ME MD MA MI MN MS MO NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC SD TN UT VA WA WV WI X X X RYAN YOUNG 2023399300 1536 U STREET NW WASHINGTON DC 20009 X DEEPAK BHARGAVA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (SEE SCHEDULE O) 11.00 X X 0 0 0 SUSAN SANDLER CHAIR OF THE BOARD 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ED BOOTH BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 BILL DEMPSEY BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES GOLLIN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 LISA GARCIA-BEDOLLA BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARVIN RUDOLPH BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW WONG BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MOBILE COMMONS INC 45 MAIN ST SUITE 520 BROOKLYN NY 11201 OUTREACH AND CONSTITUENT MGMT 156876 1 182218 4295258 4477476 FEES FOR SERVICE 900099 565332 565332 565332 655 655 629946 312640 317306 317306 317306 5382 182218 28975 -23593 -23593 5337176 565332 0 294368 X 1760505 1760505 91008 35017 24517 31474 176095 176095 13487 13487 153 153 14768 14768 27168 15388 11780 57927 57927 13800 13800 2061838 1791579 147064 123195 70298 69764 534 22434 12142 5497 4795 43 6 34 3 109761 101484 7332 945 176150 158510 5727 11913 33081 8790 23053 1238 NEW TECH/PUB.
