Mission

Provide educational materials, information, and instruction on issues related to labor, civil, women's rights and other issues of social inequality and economic justice. The mission is carried out through a variety of means, including magazine, book, web-based publishing, and sponsorship of public meetings, seminars, and conferences.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

People paid by the organization

13 people paid across every filing: current people first, then by total pay from this organization. Organizations counts every nonprofit each person appears on.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
