Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization follows fasb asc 740-10, accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, as it relates to uncertain tax positions. For all tax positions taken by the organization, management believes it is clear that the likelihood is greater than 50% that the full amount of the tax position taken will be ultimately realized. Therefore, management believes that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns for the three most recent years filed, or expected to be taken in the organization's current year tax return. The organization identifies its major tax jurisdictions as the u.s. Federal and the state of new york. However, the organization is not currently under audit nor has the organization been contacted by either of these jurisdictions. As of december 31, 2024, the organization has accrued no interest and no penalties related to uncertain tax positions.”

IRS990/Desc0THE UNCOMMITTED MOVEMENT TRANSFORMED GRASSROOTS MOMENTUM INTO MEASURABLE POLITICAL IMPACT. THE STRONG VOTER TURNOUT FOR THE UNCOMMITTED MOVEMENT - NEARLY 100,000 VOTES IN MICHIGAN AND OVER 800,000 NATIONWIDE - DEMONSTRATED OUR ABILITY TO CONVERT COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZING INTO TANGIBLE RESULTS THROUGH INNOVATIVE COMMUNICATIONS. SECURING DELEGATES IN MULTIPLE STATES HIGHLIGHTED THE MOVEMENT'S CAPACITY TO DISRUPT THE STATUS QUO WITHIN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY PROCESS. BEYOND VOTES, OUR WORK ELEVATED CRITICAL ISSUES TO THE NATIONAL STAGE. THE UNCOMMITTED CAMPAIGN COMPELLED ELECTED LEADERS AND THE MEDIA TO ENGAGE WITH DEMANDS FOR A CEASEFIRE IN GAZA AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN U.S. FOREIGN POLICY - TOPICS PREVIOUSLY SIDELINED IN MAINSTREAM POLITICAL DEBATES.ADDITIONALLY, OUR STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS EFFORTS AMPLIFIED THE MOVEMENT'S REACH, GENERATING OVER $74 MILLION IN EARNED MEDIA COVERAGE DURING THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION (DNC). THIS VISIBILITY NOT ONLY BROADENED PUBLIC AWARENESS BUT ALSO PRESSURED POLITICAL LEADERS TO ADDRESS THE MOVEMENT'S DEMANDS. THESE ACHIEVEMENTS REFLECT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR APPROACH - LEVERAGING GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING, COALITION-BUILDING, AND STRATEGIC MEDIA ENGAGEMENT TO CREATE LASTING POLITICAL INFLUENCE.

IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0FOR OUR WORK ON THE UNCOMMITTED CAMPAIGN, WE COLLABORATED WITH COALITION PARTNERS AND MONITORED ALL EXPENDITURES RELATED TO OUR ROLE--SUCH AS MEDIA PRODUCTION, STAFF TIME, AND TRAVEL--USING INTERNAL TRACKING TOOLS. SPENDING WAS ALIGNED WITH DEFINED SCOPES OF WORK, AND WE MAINTAINED TRANSPARENCY THROUGH REGULAR COORDINATION WITH FISCAL SPONSORS AND PARTNERS TO ENSURE FUNDS WERE USED APPROPRIATELY AND EFFECTIVELY. WE KNOW THIS WORK WAS SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE IT TRANSFORMED GRASSROOTS MOMENTUM INTO MEASURABLE POLITICAL IMPACT, INFLUENCING BOTH ELECTORAL OUTCOMES AND THE BROADER POLITICAL DISCOURSE. THE STRONG VOTER TURNOUT FOR THE UNCOMMITTED MOVEMENT--NEARLY 100,000 VOTES IN MICHIGAN AND OVER 800,000 NATIONWIDE--DEMONSTRATED OUR ABILITY TO CONVERT COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZING INTO TANGIBLE ELECTORAL RESULTS. SECURING DELEGATES IN MULTIPLE STATES HIGHLIGHTED THE MOVEMENT'S CAPACITY TO DISRUPT THE STATUS QUO WITHIN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY PROCESS. BEYOND VOTES, OUR WORK ELEVATED CRITICAL ISSUES TO THE NATIONAL STAGE. THE UNCOMMITTED CAMPAIGN COMPELLED DEMOCRATIC LEADERS AND THE MEDIA TO ENGAGE WITH DEMANDS FOR A CEASEFIRE IN GAZA AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN U.S. FOREIGN POLICY--TOPICS PREVIOUSLY SIDELINED IN MAINSTREAM POLITICAL DEBATES. THE RELEASE OF NSM-20 IN MAY MARKED A CRITICAL MOMENT, AS IT WAS THE FIRST FORMAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT THAT U.S. WEAPONS SUPPLIED TO ISRAEL WERE "REASONABLY ASSESSED" TO HAVE BEEN USED IN WAYS INCONSISTENT WITH INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW. THIS UNPRECEDENTED ADMISSION REFLECTED THE GROWING PRESSURE FROM GRASSROOTS ADVOCACY. THE PRESSURE REACHED A HIGH POINT ON MAY 8, WHEN PRESIDENT BIDEN ANNOUNCED ON CNN THAT HE WOULD PAUSE A WEAPONS SHIPMENT TIED TO AN ISRAELI OFFENSIVE IN RAFAH, A DECISION THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNTHINKABLE WITHOUT THE SUSTAINED ORGANIZING AND POLITICAL PRESSURE GENERATED BY THE MOVEMENT. ADDITIONALLY, OUR STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS EFFORTS AMPLIFIED THE MOVEMENT'S REACH, GENERATING OVER $74 MILLION IN EARNED MEDIA COVERAGE DURING THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION (DNC). THIS VISIBILITY NOT ONLY BROADENED PUBLIC AWARENESS BUT ALSO PRESSURED POLITICAL LEADERS TO ADDRESS THE MOVEMENT'S DEMANDS. THESE ACHIEVEMENTS REFLECT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR APPROACH--LEVERAGING GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING, COALITION-BUILDING, AND STRATEGIC MEDIA ENGAGEMENT TO CREATE LASTING POLITICAL INFLUENCE.
