Activities or mission (Part I)

FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF LOUISIANA'S INCARCERATED CHILDREN (FFLIC) IS A STATEWIDE, GRASSROOTS, MEMBERSHIP BASED, INTERGENERATIONAL ORGANIZATION WORKING TO TRANSFORM SYSTEMS THAT PUT CHILDREN AT RISK OF PRISON. FFLIC'S MISSION IS TO CREATE A BETTER LIFE FOR ALL OF LOUISIANA'S YOUTH, ESPECIALLY THOSE INVOLVED IN OR TARGETED BY THE RACIAL INJUSTICE SYSTEM.

FFLIC IMPLEMENTS A MODEL OF ORGANIZING THAT'S PEOPLE-AND-COMMUNITY CENTERED, EXPLICITLY ANTI-RACIST, AND REFLECTS THE COMMUNITIES WE COME FROM. FFLIC WAS FOUNDED IN 2001 BY A GROUP OF BLACK PARENTS, MOSTLY MOTHERS, WHO CAME TOGETHER TO SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER AS THEIR CHILDREN AND LOVED ONES WERE BEING TARGETED AND DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED BY THE RACIAL INJUSTICE SYSTEM. CONCERNED ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION OF THEIR CHILDREN'S FUTURE, THIS GROUP ORGANIZED AND LED THE CHARGE FOR LONG-TERM POLICY REFORMS. THEIR COLLECTIVE EFFORTS LED TO THE PASSAGE OF A LANDMARK BILL ACT 1225 OR 2003, WHICH FOCUSED ON HOLISTIC, COORDINATED SYSTEMS OF CARE AND EFFECTIVELY CLOSED TALLULAH YOUTH CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, ONE OF THE MOST NOTORIOUS YOUTH PRISONS IN THE NATION. FFLIC WAS FOUNDED ON THE BELIEF THAT PEOPLE ARE THE POWER AND THAT THOSE MOST DIRECTLY IMPACTED ARE THE CHOSEN ONES TO LEAD PERMANENT CHANGE BY DISRUPTING AND DISMANTLING BROKEN RACIST SYSTEM. OUR GOALS ARE TO RADICALLY TRANSFORM THESE SYSTEMS AS WELL AS SHIFT HOW THEY TREAT AND VALUE ECONOMICALLY CHALLENGED BLACK, INDIGENOUS, AND PEOPLE OF COLOR (BIPOC). WE HAVE THREE GENERATIONS OF ACTIVE FAMILY MEMBERS ADVOCATING SIDE BY SIDE TO ERADICATE THE SCHOOL-TO-PRISON PIPELINE THAT FUNNELS BIPOC YOUTH INTO THE JUSTICE SYTEM.

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.
