VOTING RIGHTS - TOGETHER WITH OUR PRO BONO CO-COUNSEL PARTNERS, WE PLAYED A LEAD ROLE IN SUCCESSFULLY DEFENDING AGAINST AN UNPRECEDENTED WAVE OF VOTER SUPPRESSION LEGISLATION, WHICH THREATENED TO DISENFRANCHISE MILLIONS OF MINORITIES, LOW-INCOME PERSONS, SENIOR CITIZENS, VOTERS WITH DISABILITIES AND STUDENTS. THIS INCLUDED LITIGATION AGAINST DISCRIMINATORY PHOTO-ID LAWS FROM TEXAS AND SOUTH CAROLINA, AND EARLY VOTING REDUCTIONS BY FLORIDA. OUR ATTORNEYS ALSO WON A FEDERAL COURT CHALLENGE TO A RACIALLY DISCRIMINATORY EFFORT BY MEMBERS OF THE LOUISIANA SUPREME COURT TO DENY JUSTICE BERNETTE JOHNSON, THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN TO SERVE ON THAT BENCH AND ITS MOST SENIOR MEMBER, THE POSITION OF CHIEF JUSTICE.THROUGH THE ELECTION PROTECTION (EP) COALITION, WE ORGANIZED THE PREMIER NATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO DEFEND THE RIGHT OF ALL CITIZENS TO VOTE. MORE THAN A YEAR BEFORE THE 2012 ELECTION WE WERE MOBILIZING TO COMBAT VOTER SUPPRESSION MEASURES, AND BEGAN TO HIGHLIGHT THE EVOCATIVE MAP OF SHAME. LEADING UP TO ELECTION DAY, EP FOUGHT SUPPRESSIVE VOTING RIGHTS EFFORTS, AS WELL AS DECEPTIVE AND INTIMIDATING TACTICS, THROUGH AN AGGRESSIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE VOTER EDUCATION PROGRAM THAT LEVERAGED BILLBOARDS, HUNDREDS OF SPEECHES DIRECTLY REACHING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ACTIVISTS, AND CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY AND MEDIA OUTREACH. MEDIA HITS INCLUDED NBC, BET, CNN, NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL AND WASHINGTON POST. WE ALSO GENERATED APPROXIMATELY 11 MILLION SOCIAL MEDIA IMPRESSIONS THROUGH FACEBOOK, TWITTER, LINKED IN AND OTHER PLATFORMS. ON ELECTION DAY, MORE THAN 5,300 TRAINED LEGAL VOLUNTEERS AND 2,300 NON-LEGAL VOLUNTEERS STAFFED 26 NATIONAL AND LOCAL CALL CENTERS, 12 SPANISH LANGUAGE CALL CENTERS, AND FIELD PROGRAMS IN MORE THAN 80 JURISDICTIONS. NEARLY 180,000 CALLS CAME IN TO THE HOTLINE AND WE RECEIVED MORE THAN 650,000 WEBSITE HITS THROUGHOUT THE ELECTION CYCLE. WE ALSO FIELDED A VERY SUCCESSFUL MOBILE APPLICATION THAT EMPOWERED THOUSANDS OF VOTERS WITH VITAL INFORMATION CUSTOMIZED BY POLITICAL JURISDICTION. ALL TOGETHER, THESE EFFORTS HELPED TO GENERATE AND SUSTAIN A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN THAT RESULTED IN THE LARGEST MINORITY VOTER TURNOUT IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

FAIR HOUSING AND FAIR LENDING - OUR LOAN MODIFICATION SCAM PREVENTION NETWORK CONTINUED TO EMPOWER HOMEOWNERS TO REPORT CASES OF FRAUD AND ABUSE. BY THE END OF THIS YEAR, OUR NATIONAL DATABASE INCLUDED MORE THAN 30,000 INCIDENT REPORTS INVOLVING MORE THAN $60 MILLION IN ILLEGAL FEES, AND IT HAS BECOME AN ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY SEEKING TO COMBAT THE SCOURGE OF LOAN MODIFICATION SCAMMING. WE ALSO FILED EIGHT CASES ATTACKING MORTGAGE RESCUE SCAM OPERATIONS IN NEW YORK, CALIFORNIA, AND VIRGINIA. WHILE OTHER CASES ARE STILL PENDING, WE ACHIEVED INITIAL VICTORIES IN TWO WHEN THE COURT TEMPORARILY SHUT DOWN OPERATIONS OF THE SCAMMERS UNTIL THE CASES WERE DECIDED. SETTLEMENTS, INCLUDING BOTH INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AND SIGNIFICANT MONETARY RELIEF FOR VICTIMS, WERE REACHED IN THREE CASES. WE ALSO ENGAGED IN EXTENSIVE EFFORTS TO PROTECT DISPARATE IMPACT CLAIMS UNDER THE FAIR HOUSING ACT, INCLUDING THE FILING OF AN AMICUS BRIEF BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT.

ADDITIONALLY, THE PROJECT CONCLUDED A SIX WEEK BENCH TRIAL CHALLENGING THE FAILURE OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND TO ELIMINATE THE VESTIGES OF DISCRIMINATION IN ITS SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION. OUR EDUCATION TEAM FILED AN AMICUS BRIEF IN THE U.S. SUPREME COURT ON BEHALF OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS IN FISHER V.

EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION - IN THE FIGHT AGAINST EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION, WE MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS THIS YEAR. AFTER YEARS OF ADVOCACY BY OUR EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION PROJECT AND ITS PARTNERS, THE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION ISSUED ENFORCEMENT GUIDANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A QUARTER CENTURY ON THE RESTRICTIONS EMPLOYERS SHOULD OBSERVE IN USING CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORDS IN HIRING, FIRING, AND OTHER DECISIONS. ADDITIONALLY, WE WORKED WITH MINORITY FIRST RESPONDERS TO INTERVENE IN A RACIAL DISCRIMINATION SUIT FILED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PROMPTED BY THE LAWYERS' COMMITTEE. WE ALSO FILED A DEMAND LETTER AGAINST A SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO ADDRESS DISCRIMINATORY IMPACT, AND FURTHER DEVELOPED OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH MINORITY POLICE AND FIREFIGHTER ORGANIZATIONS TO IDENTIFY AND COMBAT INSTANCES OF RACIAL INJUSTICE. WE ALSO LAUNCHED A "RIGHT TO KNOW" CAMPAIGN FOR THE HMONG COMMUNITIES OF MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA, WHICH AIMS TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS AND THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION.
(Code:   ) (Expenses $ 391,999 including grants of $   ) (Revenue $   )
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT - CONTINUED TO FIGHT FOR JUSTICE IN NEW ORLEANS AND THE GULF REGION, BUILDING ON OUR MORE THAN SEVEN YEARS OF ADVOCACY FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE STILL SEEKING TO RECOVER FROM THE DEVASTATION OF KATRINA AND ENTRENCHED ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL INJUSTICE. WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, THE PORT CAMPAIGN COALITION MADE SIGNIFICANT HEADWAY IN THEIR CAMPAIGN TO ENSURE THAT THE EXPANSION OF THE PORT OF GULFPORT IN MISSISSIPPI MITIGATES ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH IMPACTS AND PROVIDES JOBS TO LOCAL RESIDENTS. MISSISSIPPI'S GOVERNOR HAS PRESSURED THE PORT AUTHORITY TO CHANGE ITS LEADERSHIP AND TO RE-THINK ITS PLANNED RESTORATION PROJECT. ADDITIONALLY, THROUGH THE TITLE CLEARING COLLABORATIVE IN NEW ORLEANS, THE PROJECT AND ITS LOCAL PARTNERS HAVE ASSISTED MORE THAN 300 FAMILIES IN CLEARING TITLE TO THEIR PROPERTY. MANY OF THESE HOMEOWNERS WILL BE ABLE TO OBTAIN REBUILDING GRANTS FROM THE STATE OF LOUISIANA AND TO RETURN TO THEIR HOMES.
(Code:   ) (Expenses $ 1,652,199 including grants of $   ) (Revenue $   )
OTHER PROGRAMS - THE LAWYERS' COMMITTEE HAS ALSO PURSUED AN AGGRESSIVE PUBLIC POLICY AGENDA FOCUSING ON VOTING RIGHTS AND ELECTORAL REFORM, EDUCATION, CRIMINAL JUSTICE, EMPLOYMENT, JUDICIAL DIVERSITY AND OTHER KEY ISSUES. FOR EXAMPLE, WE WRAPPED UP THE FIRST YEAR OF OUR JUDICIAL DIVERSITY PROGRAM IN WASHINGTON STATE, WHERE WE RECRUITED 11 JUDGES AND SIX MENTEES. SO FAR, ONE MENTEE HAS TAKEN ON AN ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE ROLE AND TWO HAVE TAKEN STEPS TOWARDS BECOMING JUDGES. OUR PUBLIC POLICY PROJECT ALSO GAVE MAJOR VOICE TO NEEDED POLICY REFORMS IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE AREA FOLLOWING THE KILLING OF TRAYVON MARTIN, INCLUDING ENACTMENT OF THE END RACIAL PROFILING ACT. POLICY ALSO WORKS CLOSELY WITH ALL OF OUR PROJECT AREAS TO ADVANCE LEGISLATION AND REGULATIONS ON THE STATE AND NATIONAL LEVEL, INCLUDING ADVOCATING FOR ANTI-VOTER SUPPRESSION LEGISLATION, THE RIGHTS OF MIGRANT WORKERS THROUGH SUPPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR'S NEW H2-B VISA RULES, AND THE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT ACT.

THE LAWYERS' COMMITTEE'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS THIS YEAR WERE A RESOUNDING SUCCESS.
