DescriptionCORE PROGRAMS: WOLA STRENGTHENED CIVIL SOCIETY AND IMPROVED MILLIONS OF LIVES THROUGHOUT THE AMERICAS BY MAKING PUBLIC POLICIES MORE RESPECTFUL OF HUMAN RIGHTS. WE LEVERAGED THE VOICES OF LOCAL COMMUNITY GROUPS, BUILT LOCAL INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY, CONDUCTED HARD-HITTING RESEARCH, AND TOLD THE HUMAN STORIES OF THOSE HARMED BY UNJUST POLICIES. IN COLOMBIA WE HELPED PROTECT THE LIVES OF DISPLACED AFRO-COLOMBIAN AND INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES. ALONG THE US-MEXICO BORDER, WE MADE POLICYMAKERS AND CITIZENS MORE AWARE OF THE UNPRECEDENTED US SECURITY BUILDUP AND THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS FACING MIGRANTS WHO ATTEMPT TO CROSS. WE ALSO BROUGHT ATTENTION TO THE ECONOMIC "PUSH FACTORS" THAT INFLUENCE REGIONAL MIGRATION. FINALLY, WOLA RAISED AWARENESS OF THE INEQUITIES AND REGIONAL IMPLICATONS OF THE CURRENT US POLICY TOWARD CUBA.Description

DescriptionWOLA SUPPORTS DRUG POLICY REFORMS THAT EMPHASIZE THE CENTRALITY OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY, PUBLIC HEALTH, GENUINE CITIZEN SECURITY, HARM REDUCTION, AND EVIDENCE-DRIVEN POLICY. WOLA WORKED CLOSELY WITH REGIONAL OFFICIALS AND EXPERTS TO STRENGTHEN A GROWING NETWORK OF REFORM-MINDED LEADERS TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO PRESS FOR NEW DRUG POLICIES AT THE INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL LEVEL. AFTER LANDMARK BALLOT INITIATIVES IN 2012 LEGALIZED MARIJUANA IN WASHINGTON AND COLORADO, WOLA PROVIDED CRITICAL ASSISTANCE TO REFORM-MINDED LEGISLATORS IN URUGUAY - WHERE CONGRESS IS POISED TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA - BY CHANNELING STRATEGIC AND PRACTICAL ADVICE FROM THE US EXPERTS WHO WORKED ON THE SUCCESSFUL STATE CAMPAIGNS.Description

WOLA MADE THE US GOVERNMENT MORE ACCOUNTABLE TO ITS CITIZENS BY RESEARCHING AND PUBLICIZING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF DATA ABOUT US MILITARY ASSISTANCE TO LATIN AMERICA THAT WOULD NOT OTHERWISE HAVE BEEN REVEALED.

Return ReferencePart X : FIN48 FootnoteReturnReference
ExplanationThe Organization has adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles, with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Organization has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictions where it operates. The Organization believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse affect on the Organization's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the Organization has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2012 or 2011. WOLA is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Organization believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2008. The Organization's policy is to classify income tax related interest and penalties in interest expense and other expenses, respectively.Explanation
