Desc	CAMPAIGNS, PROGRAMS, and RESEARCH - Amnesty International USAs Campaigns, Programs, and Research services cover: 1) Individuals at Risk, 2) Identity and Discrimination, 3) Death Penalty Abolition, 4) Security with Human Rights, 5) Police Accountability, 6) End Gun Violence, and 7) Mass Incarceration. This group works in collaboration with other areas of the Organization. AIUSAs Individuals at Risk team works to generate pressure on local and international government officials and other decision makers through a strategic mix of research, lobbying, media attention, coalition building, and grassroots activism including the annual Write for Rights campaign, the Urgent Action Network, the Case Commitment Initiative, and Focus Case Campaigns. In 2015 member participation generated over one million individual actions on cases from AIUSA. 2015s Write for Rights broke records domestically and globally, with AIUSA generating over 300,000 actions on 12 focus cases. The 2015 year saw the release of 144 prisoners of conscience who are people jailed for the peaceful expression of their beliefs or identity. AIUSAs Abolish the Death Penalty campaign is conducted in the USA on a state-by-state basis. In 2015, the Nebraska state legislature passed a bill to abolish the death penalty and overturned the Governors veto, a victory in which Amnesty members played a crucial role. Other significant victories include the vacating of Reggie Clemons death sentence and stays of execution by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf for Rodney Reed and Richard Glossip. AIUSAs Security with Human Rights program works to end human rights abuses committed in the name of national security. Security with Human Rights focus areas include 1) Torture and Guantanamo, 2) U.S. Drone and Other Air Strikes, and 3) Surveillance. AIUSA campaigned on the cases of Guantanamo Bay facility prisoners Shaker Aamer and Ahmed Abdulaziz; the two men were released in 2015. In 2015, Congress voted to strengthen the ban on torture and ensure it applies to the CIA; AIUSA activists sent more than 44,000 emails to senators in key states on this issue. AIUSA also partnered with the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights Watch to deliver an 110,000 signature petition to the Department of Justice calling for an investigation of torture authorized by the CIA. AIUSA representatives met with the Mexican Ambassador to the U.S. to deliver 24,219 actions from AIUSA members requesting an overhaul of forensic examination of torture survivors to align with the Istanbul Protocol and delivered 520 pencils made by AIUSA members in solidarity with disappeared Mexican students. AIUSAs Police Accountability campaign saw significant progress in 2015. In a landmark decision in May 2015, survivors of torture by Chicago Police during the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s were awarded a reparations package including restitution, compensation and rehabilitation. Legislation was encouraged addressing the use of lethal force by police officers in Missouri. AIUSA field staff and Legislative Coordinators campaigned to pressure the St. Louis Board of Alderman to create a Civilian Oversight Board; the bill was signed by the mayor in May 2015. AIUSAs Research Unit released a new report in June 2015 entitled "Deadly Force: Police Use of Lethal Force in the United States" which highlighted a country-wide lack of oversight and reporting for police use of lethal force. The report gave recommendations for local, state, and national regulation. AIUSAs Identity and Discrimination Unit is dedicated to ending human rights violations based on identifying features such as gender, orientation, race, religion, and nationality. The priority in 2015 was the continuation of the My Body/My Rights campaign to help ensure that everyone has access to their sexual and reproductive rights. Representatives from AIUSAs Identity and Discrimination Unit met with Paraguayan Embassy staff to deliver over 66,000 signatures regarding the case of a 10-year-old rape survivor who was denied an abortion. During 2015s Write for Rights campaign, AIUSA activists wrote 11,617 letters to the El Salvadoran government and took 25,465 online actions to urge the release of a woman imprisoned on abortion-related charges after suffering a miscarriage-Teodora del Carmen Vasquez-and to advocate for a change in the country's abortion laws. In 2015 AIUSAs Research Unit released the widely read report on lethal force by police "Deadly Force: Police Use of Lethal Force in the United States". This work has led to legislation on lethal force in Missouri and pending legislation in Maryland, as well as draft federal legislation. The Unit developed case studies on police use of deadly force to be used in state-based campaigning. Earlier research on the survivors of Chicago police torture achieved results as the Chicago City Council passed an ordinance to provide reparations to the men and women of color who were systematically tortured by officers from the Chicago Police Department decades prior. AIUSA researchers also released a toolkit demonstrating the drivers of mass incarceration in the United States through individual case studies. One case study highlighted the expansion of immigration detention in the U.S. and featured an action on two Guatemalan refugees. A second case study illustrated the issue of charging juveniles as adults in criminal cases in New York state.	Desc

Desc	DIGITAL AND STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS AND CREATIVE PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM - The purpose of this program is to shape public opinion by telling AIUSAs story, develop relationships, and leverage those relationships to create measurable human rights impact. The Digital and Strategic Communications Program Area works closely with AIUSA Campaigns to identify key moments for public engagement. The Strategic Communications and Digital Initiatives program channels its work into 1) Media Relations, 2) Online Editorial Campaigns, and 3) Online Growth and Cultivation. Each unit is responsible for message development and distribution through its respective channels. The Media Relations Unit is responsible for press releases, press conferences, editorial board outreach, op-ed submissions, and targeted media pitches. The Online Editorial Campaigns Unit manages online assets such as mobile applications, social media pages, and creation of video, infographics, and other shareable content. The Online Growth & Cultivation Unit sends online advocacy, online fundraising, and list-building messages to AIUSA activists, supporters, and members. Over 350,000 individuals took action online in 2015. The Media Relations Unit in particular helped to shape the narrative and public perception of Amnestys proposed global policy to protect the rights of sex workers in 2015. The issues which received the highest media coverage in 2015 were Boko Haram, Raif Badawi, Chicago Torture, CIA Torture, Death Sentences and Executions Report, NSA Surveillance, and Albert Woodfox. The Online Editorial Campaigns Unit launched an AIUSA channel on Spotify, co-hosted a live Twitter chat to push the passage of International Violence Against Women Act, produced the live-stream of AIUSAs Annual General Meeting in partnership with the Events team, successfully supported the global launch of the #UnFollowMe campaign on mass surveillance, and produced various multimedia assets. In 2015 AIUSA surpassed one million followers on Twitter. AIUSA social media education and actions around the global refugee crisis had high levels of engagement; posts were shared widely across AIUSAs existing audience and drew in new audience members to AIUSAs platform. The Creative Partnerships program saw in 2015 the relaunch of Art for Amnesty in the United States. Art for Amnesty engaged artists through a strategic combination of celebrity partnerships and arts-focused events. Creative Partnerships seeks to maximize human rights impact through affiliations in the arts community to 1) increase brand visibility and credibility within media, 2) generate fresh cultural capital and relevance, 3) identify new opportunities and relationships, 4) build growth and diversity, and 5) increase membership and activists. In 2015 Creative Partnerships put on Manifest Justice in Los Angeles, California, a two-week convening attended by more than 7,500 individuals including a long list of artists, tastemakers, and public figures. They worked in collaboration with the Individuals at Risk team and artist Brandan Odums to produce a 25-foot mural of Albert Woodfox, generating stories on the regionally significant Nola.com and in San Francisco Bay View. Art for Amnesty secured a 2015 role for AIUSA with SXSW South by Southwest, a set of film, interactive, and music festivals in Austin, Texas attended by nearly 100,000 individuals each year. Creative Partnerships also secured a high-profile partnership for AIUSA with MTVs Rebel Music series, featuring artists who advance human rights through their music in countries around the world. Art for Amnesty also worked with the Individuals at Risk and Events teams to put on Art for Rights in New Orleans, Louisiana an event focused on AIUSAs core Write for Rights initiative.	Desc

Under ASC 740-10 (formerly financial accounting standards board ("FASB") Interpretation No.48), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes", an organization must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more likely than not that the position will not be sustained. Amnesty International USA, Inc. does not believe there are any material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly, they have not recognized any liability for uncertain tax benefits. The organization has filed Internal Revenue Service Form 990 tax returns, as required, and all other applicable returns in jurisdictions when it is required. For the year ended December 31, 2015, there was no interest or penalties recorded or included in the financial statements.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D:	1) POLICY, ADVOCACY, AND MEMBERSHIP MOBILIZATION - Field Activism, Member Engagement, and Events drive human rights impact by providing public value, grow the movement by providing legitimacy and support, and develops member leaders and operational capacity. While the efforts of this program area are guided by the priority campaigns of AIUSA, the work of the department encompasses all of the human rights issues on which AIUSA focuses. The Policy, Advocacy, and Membership Mobilization Program divides its work into: 1) Field Activism, 2) Member Engagement, 3) Events, 4) Policy, 5) Member Advocacy, 6) Government Relations, and 7) International Coordination. The Field Activism unit cultivates relationships across issues and borders throughout the human rights movement and bridges the gap between local grassroots activists and the global movement. The Member Engagement Unit builds organizing capacity by training core competencies and develops member communication strategies to cultivate an online to offline engagement ladder. The Events Unit plans and executes five Regional Conferences, AIUSAs Annual General Meeting, and the Human Rights Leadership Institute to educate, mobilize, and provide resources to AIUSA members and activists. The 2015 AGM in Brooklyn, New York was one of the best-attended Annual General Meetings in AIUSAs history. AIUSA staff and members advocate for human rights issues around the world to U.S. government officials and foreign ambassadors. Activists participate in lobbying and demonstrations, while staff and volunteer experts testify before key stakeholders to ensure that these important issues are brought to light. Members and activists drive forward AIUSAs programmatic work at both the grassroots and high-level through the activities of Student Activist Coordinators, Area Coordinators, State Legislative Coordinators, the National Youth Action Committee, the Young Professionals Amnesty International Networks, State Death Penalty Abolition Coordinators, and Country/Thematic Specialists (among many others). In 2015 AIUSA worked with key officials to help ensure the release of prisoner of conscience Dr. Tun Aung who had been detained in Myanmar since 2012. The Asia Advocacy Director met with senior State Department officials, briefed Senate staff ahead of the annual Security and Economic Dialogue with China, raised key Amnesty concerns with the visiting Afghani Chief Executive, Abdullah Abdullah, and testified before Congresss Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission on Cambodia and Laos. AIUSA staff also gave a briefing to Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes ahead of his trip to Myanmar. Upon publication of a Stop Torture report on Uzbekistan, AIUSA representatives testified before the Lantos Human Rights Commission and were invited to meetings with White House, State Department, and Congressional staff. AIUSA staff held Congressional meetings on the deteriorating human rights situation in Azerbaijan and briefed U.S. officials on media freedom in Turkey. Amnestys research effectively kept the spotlight on human rights abuses by the Nigerian military in the counter insurgency effort against the armed group Boko Haram during Nigerias newly inaugurated President Muhamadu Buharis visit to the United States. Amnestys report was cited as a key factor preventing the resumption of security assistance by the United States. AIUSA urged President Obama to press for reforms, which led to the release of certain prisoners of conscience, before the President arrived in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for the start of his 2015 African visit. AIUSA advocacy opposing the U.S. economic embargo against Cuba gained traction with the announcement of U.S.-Cuba talks to normalize relations. All prisoners of conscience in Cuba that received the focus of Amnestys efforts were released in 2015. AIUSA advocacy contributed to the suspension of a portion of U.S. foreign assistance to Mexico for the first time. AIUSA representatives met with the Mexican Ambassador to the U.S. to deliver 24,219 actions from AIUSA members requesting an overhaul of forensic examination of torture survivors to align with the Istanbul Protocol and delivered 520 pencils made by AIUSA members in solidarity with disappeared Mexican students. AIUSA advocacy and campaigning brought the plight of more than 130,000 stateless individuals in the Dominican Republic into the public spotlight. After years of inaction, the Dominican Republic announced in 2015 that 55,000 individuals would be able to regain access to their identity documents and nationality. AIUSA advocacy and campaigning around the My Body, My Rights global campaign on the total abortion ban in El Salvador, which garnered 24,682 signatures and over 25,000 online actions, helped free two women who had been jailed for miscarriages. In 2015, AIUSA convinced 67 Members of Congress to sign a bipartisan letter to the new King of Saudi Arabia calling for human rights reforms and an end to the imprisonment of prisoners of conscience; and worked with 19 Members of Congress to urge the U.S. Secretary of State to address Israeli violations of Palestinian childrens human rights in its military detention system. AIUSAs Advocacy Director for the Middle East and North Africa participated in a nine-day mission to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories in October 2015. AIUSA broader membership participated in Spring and Fall Lobby Weeks, calling on their Members of Congress to support key legislative priorities. Hundreds of activists from across the country signed up to urge their elected officials to sponsor the International Violence Against Women Act, close the Guantanamo detention facility, help bring transparency and accountability to police departments nationwide, reform the use of solitary confinement in U.S. prisons, and to support human rights in Bahrain. AIUSA staff and Legislative Coordinators led various trainings and issue briefings, including at the Annual General Meeting in Brooklyn and the Regional Conferences. TOTAL EXPENSES: $7,947,154.
