Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

To facilitate increased understanding of civil liberties and rights, to inquire into the protection of civil liberties and rights, and to publish the results of these inquires.

JUSTICE PROGRAM: CORRECTIONS REFORM PROJECT - THE PROJECT CONTINUES TO WORK TO IMPROVE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL PERSONS IN ILINOIS PRISONS. AFTER YEARS OF LITIGATION, THIS YEAR THE PROJECT HAS BEGUN TO WORK ON THE IMPLEMENTION OF A CONSENT DECREE IN LIPPERT, OUR CHALLENGE TO THE QUALITY OF HEALTH CARE IN ILLINOIS PRISONS. THE DECREE SETS FORTH A SPECIFIC PLAN FOR REFORM WITH A MONITOR TO OVERSEE THAT PROCESS. OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAWSUIT, TWO INDEPENDENT MEDICAL EXPERTS ISSUED SCATHING REPORTS ABOUT THE LACK OF ADEQUATE CARE. THE AGREEMENT FOR REFORM PUTS IN PLACE STRICT REQUIREMENTS FOR PROFESSIONAL CREDENTIALS, STREAMLINING THE SYSTEM FOR CARE, REQUIRING ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS AND AUDITS OF MORTALITIES. THE STATE CONTINUES TO FALL SHORT OF THE GOALS THAT THEY HAVE AGREED TO MEET, AND WE HAVE ASKED A FEDERAL COURT TO COMPEL THE STATE TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE. THIS YEAR, THE PROJECT ALSO FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE FRANKLIN COUNTY JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER, CHARGING THAT THE CARE PROVIDED TO YOUTH AT THAT FACILITY FAILED TO MEET CONSTITUTIONAL STANDARDS. POLICE PRACTICES PROJECT -THE PROJECT HAS FOCUSED AGAIN THIS YEAR ON IMPLEMENTING A CONSENT DECREE BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHICAGO AND THE ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AIMED AT IMPROVING POLICING ACROSS THE CITY. OUR CLIENTS AND PARTNERS HAVE PROVIDED VALUABLE INPUT FROM THEIR MEMBERS, BRINGING DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES AND LIFE EXPERIENCES FROM ALL ACROSS THE CITY OF CHICAGO. THE PROJECT HAS SPOKEN OUT AGAINST PROPOSED POLICIES THAT FAIL TO GET ADEQUATE INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC, AND THOSE THAT FALL SHORT OF THE MEANINGFUL REFORM SOUGHT BY CHICAGO RESIDENTS. THIS YEAR, THE PROJECT FILED A SEPARATE LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CHICAGO POLICE ON BEHALF OF SEVERAL CHICAGO RESIDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO REPEATED, UNNECESSARY TRAFFIC STOPS. THE TRAFFIC STOPS ARE PART OF A MASSIVE TRAFFIC STOP PROGRAM BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AIMED NOT AT IMPROVING SAFETY ON THE ROADS AND STREETS OF CHICAGO BUT ARE ALLEGED TO ENHANCE PUBLIC SAFETY. MOST OF THESE STOPS, DATA SHOWS, TARGET BLACK AND LATINO DRIVERS IN CHICAGO.

Expenses $1,100,481 · Revenue $1,108,227
WOMEN'S & REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS PROJECT - IN THE WAKE OF THE US SUPREME COURT DECISION ENDING THE RIGHT TO AN ABORTION THAT HAD BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR NEARLY 50 YEARS, THE PROJECT'S ROLE AS THE PRIMARY LEGAL RESOURCE FOR REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS FROM ALL ACROSS THE STATE OF ILLINOIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER. THE PROJECT PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE FOR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, LARGE MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS AND LEGISLATORS ABOUT HOW ILLINOIS LAW PROTECTS PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS IN ILLINOIS AND RECOMMENDS APPROPRIATE STEPS TO BUILD IN ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS FOR ABORTION CARE IN OUR STATE. THE PROJECT ALSO PURSUED CHALLENGING LACK OF APPROPRIATE PUMPING AND BREASTFEEDING FACILITIES FOR NEW PARENTS ACROSS THE STATE.

Expenses $1,107,979 · Revenue $1,286,676
INSTITUTIONAL REFORM PROJECT - THE PROJECT CONTINUES TO WORK TO IMPLEMENT DEEP, MUCH- NEEDED CHANGES DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF CHILDREN UNDER THE CARE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES. THE PROJECT FOCUSES ON ASSURING THAT CHILDREN UNDER THE CARE OF DCFS HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, IN THE WAKE OF THE STATE'S TRANSFER OF THE RESPONSIBILITY OF HEALTH CARE FOR CHILDREN IN DCFS TO A MANAGED CARE SYSTEM. REPORTS CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT CHILDREN ARE NOT RECEIVING THE CONTINUING, INDIVIDUALIZED CARE THEY REQUIRE. WE ALSO CONTINUE TO PUSH THE DEPARTMENT TO CREATE A MEANINGFUL PROGRAM TO DEVELOP HOUSING AND CARE FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE CARE OF DCFS. THIS YEAR THE DEPARTMENT AGREED TO A NEW, DETAILED IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TO GUIDE IMPROVEMENTS OF CONDITIONS FOR YOUTH UNDER THE CARE OF DCFS. THE PROJECT ALSO IS WORKING TO IMPLEMENT CONSENT DECREES IN THREE (3) SEPARATE LAWSUITS DESIGNED TO MOVE HUNDREDS OF PERSONS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL AND PHYSICAL DISABILITIES - AS WELL AS THOSE EXPERIENCING MENTAL ILLNESS - FROM LARGE, INSTITUTIONAL NURSING HOMES INTO THE COMMUNITY CONSISTENT WITH THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT.

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.
