Our lawyers craft legislation at the behest of community organizing, bring impact cases out of grassroots campaigns, and defend the tenant movement and its organizers. Over the last year, our team at California Center for Movement Legal Services wrote stronger tenant protections to be passed at the local level. We fought in the courts to prevent large corporate landlords from circumventing these same protections. Campaigns for stronger protections included: collaborating with tenant organizations and the City of Richmond to implement the city's rental inspection program, fighting an amendment to Oakland's tenant protection ordinance that would have passed wast collection costs onto tenants, writing language to ban ratio utility billing services in local ordinances, writing tenant protection ordinances for ballot measures in San Pablo, Redwood City and Santa Barbara. Impact litigation cases included: fighting landlords leveraging tenants' immigration status to evict them or raise the rent, suing Livable for engaging in illegal ration utility billing, suing landlords for price-gouging rents following the LA 2025 fires, fighting landlords that create hostile living environments as a business practice. Additionally, we expaned our eviction defense services in Los Angeles by doubling our LA team's staff. 1292838 true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 true 17 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Shining Star Consulting 9164964730 1831 Solano Ave 8058 Berkeley CA 94707 Leah Simon-Weisberg Executive Dir. 50.00 0.00 X 145622 0 40244 Margaret DeMatteo Directing Attorney 50.00 0.00 101439 0 31200 Jackie Zaneri Director 5.00 0.00 X 24393 0 4737 Christina Livingston Former President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Peggy Mears Former Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Rene Christian Moya Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sasha Graham Secretary/Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Claudia Medina President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Alysson Snow Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 271454 76181 2 false true false 0 805018 424125 1229143 Attorney Fees 541100 432556 432556 432556 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Miscellaneous Revenue 900099 3032 3032 3032 1664731 432556 3032 55000 55000 0 0 0 347634 222851 87610 37173 0 744819 681306 31376 32137 0 190493 171340 9542 9611 79973 68779 6935 4259 0 8438 2867 4849 722 25035 25035 0 0 0 90078 41310 47900 868 0 37093 4481 28680 3932 0 0 50604 26074 22775 1755 23523 18055 4554 914 0 2538 179 2359 0 0 0 2451 596 1855 0 1657679 1292838 273470 91371 169248 47116 5000 0 0 84767 317263 0 0 0 0 7015 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 266030 364379 14029 105326 14029 105326 X 252001 259053 252001 259053 266030 364379 7052 X false true X false false X 605470 1229143 1834613 269805 432556 702361 0 0 0 875275 1661699 2536974 0 0 2536974 1 1 0 1 1 0 481 3032 3513 875757 1664731 2540488 X 0.00000 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false false false false false true 20000 false false 20000 false false X 1664731 1664731 1664731 1657679 1657679 1657679 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization is also exempt from California franchise taxes under Section 23701(d) of the Revenue and Taxation Code and, therefore, has made no provision for Federal or California income taxes. Contributors, donors, and grantors may obtain tax benefits. In addition, the Organization has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service not to be a "private foundation" within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the Code. The Organization 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 effect 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. true ACCE Institute 3655 S Grand Ave Suite 250 Los Angeles CA 90007 271487442 30000 0 FMV Memorandum of Understanding Richmondland 2163 Meeker Ave 117 Richmond CA 94804 833335321 25000 0 FMV Memorandum of Understanding 2 0 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used Expenditures for specific grants are tracked in our accounting system using different classes for each grant. false false false false false false false false false Leah Simon-Weisberg Executive Dir. 145622 2926 37318 185866 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b We review and confirm 990 forms at Board Meetings.
