Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

JULIAN's mission is to end race, differently abled, LGBTQIA, and gender based caste in our lifetime through legal 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.

Activities or mission (Part I)

JULIAN's mission is to end caste systems in America through legal advocacy, organizing, policy, and innovation to exact justice, foster equality, and advance the doctrines of civil and human rights law.

  • Community Engagement - JULIAN's organizing and advocacy work is 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. In 2024 JULIAN held community meetings across the state of Mississippi.

    Expenses $175,092

  • Policy - Influences national policy discussions on law enforcement oversight, emphasizing the need for federal intervention in smaller police departments by exposing critical gaps in policing which contributes to broader efforts to reform practices at the state and national levels. JULIAN also advocates for expanded investigations and policy reforms to ensure accountability across all levels of law enforcement. During 2024 JULIAN drafted and passed the Virginia Earned Sentence Credit Act.

    Expenses $59,126

  • Litigation Services - Activity related to JULIAN's work to advance legal efforts leading to a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation of police departments and other law enforcement agencies, following evidence of systemic misconduct. These legal interventions are setting a precedent for holding law enforcement agencies accountable, particularly in smaller agencies/departments across the country. In 2024 JULIAN filed cases in Mississippi and secured a federal investigation into the City of Lexington police department.

    Expenses $144,850 · Revenue $1,016

  • Innovation - AI based tools are implemented for tracking activity that takes place within small town police departments in an effort to stay in tune with any potential misconduct.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 19 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
