Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2

“The Executive Director is married to the Board Chair.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The Conflict of Interest Policy has been developed, but not formally adopted by the Board. It is on the agenda for our March 14, 2016 Board meeting. That said, no directors or staff have any interests that could give rise to conflicts. The Executive Director works with the Board Chair and Secretary to evaluate potential conflicts via email in prior to formal Board meetings. If a potential conflict was identified it would be brought up. None has ever been identified.”

The gallery showcased its first exhibit in October, Climate Change Faces, Places, and Protest about the global climate justice movement and communities suffering the impacts of climate change. Our collaboration with the Sojouner Truth on KPFK Pacifica Radio Los Angeles continues with weekly Earth Minute reports and weekly Earth Watch interviews that we organize to help grassroots activists raise awareness about their issues.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Highlights of our work to halt the socially and ecologically destructive genetic engineering of trees include the first Indigenous Peoples Action Camp on GE Trees, organized by Indigenous Environmental Network, a member of the Campaign to STOP GE Trees Steering Committee which we attended and presented at. We also organized a series of demonstrations at Brazilian embassies and consulates on five continents against the legalization of GE eucalyptus in Brazil. More than 100,000 signatures were collected to demand the Brazil government not approve the commercial release of GE eucalyptus trees there.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The Conflict of Interest Policy has been developed, but not formally adopted by the Board. It is on the agenda for our March 14, 2016 Board meeting. That said, no directors or staff have any interests that could give rise to conflicts. The Executive Director works with the Board Chair and Secretary to evaluate potential conflicts via email in prior to formal Board meetings. If a potential conflict was identified it would be brought up. None has ever been identified.
