IN DECEMBER 2024, WE SECURED THE PASSAGE OF A LAW THAT WILL MAKE THE CLAIMS PROCESS AT THE OFFICE OF HUMAN RIGHTS (OHR) MORE FAIR TO PRO SE LITIGANTS (WORKERS WHO FILE CLAIMS WITHOUT THE REPRESENTATION OF A LAWYER). THIS INCLUDES EXTENDING THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS TO GIVE CLAIMANTS MORE TIME TO FILE CLAIMS, INSULATING CLAIMANTS FROM BEING FORCED TO ARBITRATE THEIR COMPLAINTS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT, AND PRESERVING THEIR RIGHT TO FILE THEIR CLAIMS IN COURT EVEN AFTER THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS HAS CONCLUDED. THESE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE LAW WILL ULTIMATELY GIVE PRO SE CLAIMANTS MORE POWER AND AGENCY IN PURSUING A REMEDY FOR THEIR DISCRIMINATION CASES.
Expenses $38,548

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.
