Mission and programs · 2023

• REPEALING THE DEATH PENALTY PROGRAMTHE DEATH PENALTY IS A MODERN-DAY RELIC OF LYNCHING THAT PROMOTES GROSS RACIAL DISPARITIES IN DETERMINING WHO LIVES AND DIES. FORTUNATELY, FOR THIS AND MANY OTHER REASONS, INCLUDING THE HORRIFIC RISK OF EXECUTING AN INNOCENT PERSON, THE DEATH PENALTY IN THE U.S. IS ON ITS WAY OUT. ELEVEN STATES HAVE ENDED THE DEATH PENALTY IN THE MODERN ERA, WITH EJUSA AND ITS STATE PARTNERS PLAYING A PROMINENT ROLE IN ACHIEVING EACH OF THESE SUCCESSES. EJUSA EDUCATES THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE DEATH PENALTY'S PROBLEMS; MOBILIZES OPPOSITION TO HIGH-PROFILE EXECUTIONS THAT ILLUMINATE SYSTEMIC RACISM, THE RISK OF WRONGFUL CONVICTION, OR OTHER INJUSTICES; TRAINS AND COACHES LOCAL ORGANIZERS AROUND THE COUNTRY; FOSTERS DIALOGUE ACROSS THE AISLE, WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, SURVIVORS OF VIOLENCE, AND OTHER UNLIKELY ALLIES; AND ADVOCATES FOR AN END TO THE DEATH PENALTY IN KEY STATES.

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

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.

Schedule J

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.
