This national community provides online training and skills-building workshops, including traditional organizing skills like phone banking, event planning, and writing letters to the editor. RU also offers opportunities for activists to learn new media content development, SMS text-banking, online fundraising, and the steps involved in passing local and state laws, plus opportunities to make impact during key moments at the federal level as well. This platform facilitates invaluable connections between activists, organizers, and leaders. It provides opportunities for volunteers to become leaders.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)
- Part I, Line 3:
- Although there are no employees, Represent.Us (RU) shares expenses with related organization Represent.Us Education Fund (RUEF). All compensation is paid by RUEF. RUEF allocates payroll costs to RU based upon allocated time spent by staff. RU reimburses all allocated costs to RUEF. RU relies on the RUEF's methods for establishing the organization's compensation of the CEO/ Executive Director. These methods include a compensation committee, a written employment contract, and approval by the board.
Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
