Mission and programs · 2023

• THE SAFETY NET PROJECT STANDS IN UNCONDITIONAL SOLIDARITY IN THE FIGHT AGAINST ALL FORMS OF WHITE SUPREMACY AND ANTI-BLACKNESS. WITH SORROW AND RAGE, WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE KILLINGS OF GEORGE FLOYD, BREONNA TAYLOR, TONY MCDADE, DAVID MCATEE, AND AHMAUD ARBERY REPRESENT ONLY SOME OF THE MANY BLACK LIVES LOST TO RACIST STATE VIOLENCE IN ALL ITS FORMS. WE SPEAK THEIR NAMES AND THE NAMES OF OTHERS LIKE. ELEANOR BUMPER, AMADOU DIALLO, KIMANI GREY, ERIC GARNER, AKAI GURLEY, DAVID FELIX, DELRAWN SMALL, DEBORAH DANNER, SAHEEN VASSELL,AND SO MANY MORE KILLED BY THE NYPD. WE MOURN THEIR DEATHS AND WE UNEQUIVOCALLY CONDEMN THE RACIST POLICING APPARATUS THAT HAS TAKEN SO MANY BLACK LIVES.WE SEE THE RIGHTEOUS ANGER AND THE DEEP SORROW IN ALL THE CURRENT UPRISINGS ACROSS OUR COUNTRY AND AROUND THE WORLD. WE SEE THE DEEP STRUCTURAL INEQUALITY OF OUR SOCIETY, WHICH VALUES PROFITS AND PROPERTY OVER PEOPLE. A SOCIETY THAT HAS SPENT MORE ON MILITARIZING POLICE AND PRISONS THAN IT HAS ON HOSPITALS, ESSENTIAL MEDICAL SUPPLIES, AND HOUSING FOR OUR HOMELESS NEIGHBORS, EVEN WHILE A GLOBAL PANDEMIC BRINGS WIDESPREAD DEATH. AND WE ASK: WHAT ARE WE SAYING ABOUT THE VALUE OF BLACK AND BROWN LIVES WHEN THE NURSE WHO WILL TREAT YOU IS WEARING A GARBAGE BAG BUT THE COP WHO WILL BEAT YOU IS EQUIPPED WITH THE FINEST MILITARY GRADE WEAPONRY? WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO GO ON.OUR HEARTS ARE HEAVY. HOWEVER, WE ARE INSPIRED BY THE TENS OF THOUSANDS WHO HAVE HAD THE BRAVERY TO CONFRONT RACIST STATE VIOLENCE HEAD-ON. WE ARE ALSO STRENGTHENED IN OUR RESOLVE TO BRING ALL THAT WE CAN TO THE COLLECTIVE STRUGGLE FOR A WORLD BEYOND POLICE AND PRISONS, A WORLD THAT CHERISHES BLACK LIVES, A WORLD THAT HAS JUSTICE AND EQUALITY RUNNING DEEPLY THROUGH ITS VEINS.

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.
