Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

To secure basic human needs and equal justice for every person in our state through coalition-building and advocacy.

  • Criminal Justice Coalition (CJC): The CJC's largest accomplishment for the year was a public education campaign about Clean Slate, or automated records expungement. We built a coalition of over 50 organizations advocating for the issue, educated dozens of legislators about the collateral consequences of criminal records, and mobilized over 100 individuals to submit testimony in support of the bill.

    Expenses $169,689 · Grants $6,000

  • Affordable Housing Coalition (AHC): The AHC continued to advance a tenant organizing program in Southwest Missouri. The tenant union in Springfield, MO now has nearly 100 card-carrying members, and there is a leadership group of tenants in Columbia preparing to launch a new tenant union in their city.

    Expenses $223,286

  • Food Security Coalition (FSC): The FSC spearheaded a campaign to encourage Missouri to opt-in to the new federal Summer EBT program. The program has been successfully enacted, and state match funds were secured for the first two years of the program.

    Expenses $126,683

  • Training and advocacy

    Expenses $168,778 · Revenue $50,465

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.
