Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

General explanation attachment

“Continued from Achievements:In our campaign against communication-based exploitation of incarcerated people, were fighting the merger of two industry giants, urging states to cap the cost of calling home from jails, and calling on legislators to protect visitation from replacement with video calling systems. This year, our work helped lead to price caps in Ohio, New York Citys decision to make calls from its jails free, and Massachusetts passing a law to preserve in-person visits. And thanks in part to our previous work on drivers license suspensions, Iowa, Utah, Pennsylvania, and D.C. passed reform bills this year.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Executive Director emails to the full Board a copy of the 990 for review and comments.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Each board member is required to submit annual disclosure to the Executive Director to be submitted at a regular meeting of the board.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2Reviewed by board of directors.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3Pursuant to the Exec Compensation Policy the Board reviews a report of salaries of individuals in similar positions in the industry and discusses without the executive present the report and the performance of the executive with the respect to the goals of the agency.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4Continued from Achievements:In our campaign against communication-based exploitation of incarcerated people, were fighting the merger of two industry giants, urging states to cap the cost of calling home from jails, and calling on legislators to protect visitation from replacement with video calling systems. This year, our work helped lead to price caps in Ohio, New York Citys decision to make calls from its jails free, and Massachusetts passing a law to preserve in-person visits. And thanks in part to our previous work on drivers license suspensions, Iowa, Utah, Pennsylvania, and D.C. passed reform bills this year.
