Mission and programs · 2024

• JUSTICE PROGRAM: CORRECTIONS REFORM PROJECT - THE PROJECT CONTINUES TO WORK TO IMPROVE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL PERSONS IN ILLINOIS PRISONS. THE STATE CONTINUES TO LAG IN IMPLEMENTING A PLAN TO MAKE CHANGES, AS NOTED IN REPORTS FROM COURT APPOINTED EXPERTS. WE ALSO ARE PURSUING A LAWSUIT CHALLENGING CONDITIONS AT THE MARY DAVIS HOME, A FACILITY DESIGNED TO HOLD YOUTH IN DETENTION PRIOR TO TRIAL OR FURTHER ADJUDICATION. THE HOME, LOCATED IN GALESBURG, HAS FAILED TO MEET CONSTITUTIONAL STANDARDS, INCLUDING THROUGH IMPROPER USE OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT. POLICE PRACTICES PROJECT -THE PROJECT CONTINUES TO FOCUS THIS YEAR ON IMPLEMENTING A CONSENT DECREE BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHICAGO AND THE ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERALS 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 ADDRESS INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC, AND THOSE THAT FALL SHORT OF THE MEANINGFUL REFORM SOUGHT BY CHICAGO RESIDENTS AND PROMISED UNDER THE DECREE. THE PROJECT ALSO CONTINUES 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 TARGETING BLACK AND LATINO DRIVERS IN CHICAGO THAT ARE ALLEGED TO ENHANCE SAFETY, BUT DATA SHOW NO SUCH POSITIVE IMPACT.

  Expenses $995,455

• 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 STATES 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 COMMUNITY BASED RESOURCES AND STRENGTHEN OTHER SUPPORTS FOR FOSTER FAMILIES CARING FOR CHILDREN IN DCFS CUSTODY. THIS YEAR WE CONTINUED WORKING WITH THE DEPARTMENT UNDER AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TO GUIDE IMPROVEMENTS IN 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 SETTINGS INTO THE COMMUNITY CONSISTENT WITH THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT.

• WOMENS & REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS PROJECT - IN THE WAKE OF THE US SUPREME COURT DECISION THAT ENDED THE RIGHT TO AN ABORTION THAT HAD BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR NEARLY 50 YEARS, THE PROJECTS 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 CHALLENGED THE LACK OF APPROPRIATE PUMPING AND BREASTFEEDING FACILITIES FOR NEW PARENTS ACROSS THE STATE. WE CONTINUE TO WORK TO ENSURE THAT THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH ACT IN ILLINOIS IS ENFORCED IN A RANGE OF AREAS ACROSS THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

  Expenses $1,510,228 · Revenue $351,890

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
