Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

To achieve social change and economic justice by helping to build a stronger and more unified grassroots movement.

  • Human Rights:Weve established the Lucy Parsons Popular Human Rights School with the aim of reclaiming the concept of human rights as a collective tool for the liberation of all peoples. We initiated the first cohort of students in the popular education program, which trains activists to critically analyze, observe, document, denounce and mobilize around human rights violations. Working alongside a network of certified Human Rights Observers, we developed an open-source database to document human right violations in the U.S. As fiscal sponsor for groups dedicated to promoting indigenous rights, environmental rights, labor rights, and human rights, weve played a crucial role in advancing these causes.

    Expenses $4,281,299 · Revenue $3,446,788

  • Racial JusticeThrough fiscal sponsorship, weve supported racial justice groups affiliated with Black Lives Matter, bail funds, and prison abolition or reform organizations, aiding in the liberation of political prisoners. Additionally, through sponsorship of bail funds, we provided assistance to individuals through legal aid, advocacy, and community support initiatives aimed at addressing systemic racism and promoting racial equity.

    Expenses $2,087,782 · Revenue $1,278,572

  • Foreign Policy:We facilitate efforts to change U.S. relations with countries in Latin America and the Middle East, while advocating for just U.S. immigration policies. Weve hosted webinars addressing various foreign policy and immigration topics, disseminated advocacy alerts, and maintained a strong social media presence to amplify voices for foreign policy reform. Furthermore, weve organized delegations to Latin America, providing participants with firsthand experiences of successful initiatives, participatory democracy projects, and human rights advocacy efforts. These experiences have contributed to freeing political prisoners, exposing prison conditions, and shedding light on the impact of the exportation of U.S. mass incarceration model across the globe.

    Expenses $906,824 · Revenue $823,136

  • Other: AfGJ acted as fiscal sponsor for multiple other groups whose humanitarian or justice projects fall within the broad category of building a movement for social and economic justice.

    Expenses $618,178 · Revenue $974,411

  • Movement Building:Through fiscal sponsorship services, weve supported over 100 groups committed to the progressive movement, enabling them to access resources and expand their influence in advocating for social and economic justice initiatives. We provide comprehensive administrative support, including donation processing, accounting services, and access to payroll and group health benefits. Additionally, we supported philanthropic relationships of our projects and ensure tracking of interim and final reporting on grants received, providing both financial and programmatic oversight for numerous grants.

    Expenses $271,750 · Revenue $101,191

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.
