Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

JULIAN's mission is to end race, differently abled, LGBTQIA, and gender-based caste in our lifetime through legal advocacy, advocacy, organizing, and policy in order to exact justice, foster equality, and advance the doctrines of civil and human rights law. We do this to protect and uplift the voices of individuals and communities subjected to hate crimes and civil rights violations.

  • LITIGATION: JULIAN successfully advanced legal efforts leading to a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation into the City of Lexington, Mississippi, and its police department, following evidence of systemic police misconduct. These legal interventions are setting a precedent for holding law enforcement agencies accountable, particularly in smaller police departments across the country.

    Expenses $302,042

  • ADVOCACY: JULIAN's advocacy extends beyond Mississippi to Virginia, where we've been instrumental in engaging community stakeholders and government officials to drive reform in law enforcement practices. By showcasing the success of DOJ intervention in Lexington, where police abuse has nearly halted, and leveraging our advocacy in Virginia, JULIAN is pushing for federal oversight and reforms that can be applied to small police departments nationwide. These efforts aim to create lasting change in law enforcement accountability and transparency.

    Expenses $258,133

  • POLICY: In 2023, JULIAN influenced national policy discussions on law enforcement oversight, emphasizing the need for federal intervention in smaller police departments. Our work in Virginia exposed critical gaps in policing, contributing to broader efforts to reform practices at the state and national levels. With over 50% of police forces in the U.S. consisting of 10 or fewer officers, like those in Lexington, Mississippi, and similar jurisdictions in Virginia, JULIAN advocates for expanded investigations and policy reforms to ensure accountability across all levels of law enforcement. JULIAN also drafted the new Earned Sentence Credit Bill in Virginia that is leading to the release of 2,000 prisoners this year and another 6,000 over the following six years.

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

Answered yes

  • 3 · Written employment contract
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings
  • 6b · Pay contingent on a related organization's net earnings
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments
  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 3
The compensation was approved by the board, but it was based on the available budget and is below industry standards for similar organizations. The process did not include a formal review by independent persons or the use of comparability data, and there is no contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision process.

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.
