| General explanation attachment | FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION (CONTINUED):PEOPLE CURRENTLY OR FORMERLY INCARCERATED, ACTIVISTS, ORGANIZERS, JUDGES, AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO CHALLENGE MASS HUMAN CAGING AND TO CREATE A LEGAL SYSTEM THAT PROMOTES EQUALITY AND HUMAN FREEDOM. CIVIL RIGHTS CORPS ENGAGES IN ADVOCACY AND PUBLIC EDUCATION AND SPECIALIZES IN INNOVATIVE, SYSTEMIC CIVIL RIGHTS LITIGATION WITH THE GOAL OF RE-SENSITIZING THE LEGAL SYSTEM AND OUR CULTURE TO THE INJUSTICE AND BRUTALITY THAT CHARACTERIZE THE CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN CRIMINAL SYSTEM. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS (CONTINUED):2018 WAS A YEAR OF GROUNDBREAKING VICTORIES AT CRC. IN HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, IN RESPONSE TO OUR LANDMARK LAWSUIT AGAINST THE MISDEMEANOR BAIL SYSTEM, NEWLY ELECTED JUDGES PASSED A LOCAL RULE THAT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY RELEASE 85 PERCENT OF PEOPLE ARRESTED ON MISDEMEANORS ON NO-CASH BONDS AND DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE DETENTION OF MISDEMEANOR ARRESTEES. THIS LAWSUIT IS NOW IN SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATIONS.IN NEW ORLEANS, WE WON TWO MAJOR VICTORIES. FIRST, WE WON A RULING IN FEDERAL COURT DECLARING UNCONSTITUTIONAL THE CITYS DEBTORS PRISON, WHICH ROUTINELY JAILED PEOPLE WHO COULD NOT AFFORD TO PAY FINES AND FEES. AS PART OF THIS GROUNDBREAKING DECISION, THE COURT ALSO STRUCK DOWN LOUISIANAS COURT FUNDING SYSTEM, IN WHICH JUDGES WHO ORDER AND COLLECT FINES AND FEES FROM DEFENDANTS ALSO DEPEND ON THAT MONEY TO FUND THE COURTS OPERATIONS. SECOND, WE WON ANOTHER CASE CHALLENGING THE CITYS MONEY BAIL SYSTEM. THE COURT HELD THAT CASH BAIL VIOLATES EQUAL PROTECTION AND DUE PROCESS. THE RULING ALSO STRUCK DOWN THE STATES STATUTORY SCHEME THAT CREATES A FINANCIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST FOR JUDGES SETTING MONEY BAIL.IN TENNESSEE, WE WON TWO MAJOR VICTORIES ON DRIVERS LICENSE ISSUES. IN RELATED CASES, COURTS DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL THE PRACTICE OF SUSPENDING AND REVOKING DRIVERS LICENSES FOR UNPAID COURT DEBT AND TRAFFIC TICKETS. AS A RESULT OF OUR CASES, 291,000 POOR TENNESSEE RESIDENTS NOW HAVE THE RIGHT TO DRIVE RESTORED. WE ARE WORKING WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS TO IMPLEMENT THESE WINS AND REINSTATE LICENSES WHILE THE CASE IS ON APPEAL. THE WORK OF CRCS POLICY, ADVOCACY, AND COMMUNICATIONS TEAMS COMPLEMENT OUR LITIGATION, ENSURING THAT OUR LEGAL VICTORIES ARE SUSTAINABLE AND ULTIMATELY ENFORCED ON THE GROUND. IN 2018, CRC BEGAN PILOT PROGRAMS IN THREE JURISDICTIONS WHERE WE LITIGATE TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH OUR WINS IN COURT AND TO MODEL WAYS IN WHICH THE COMMUNITY CAN HAVE A PRESENCE IN THE COURT PROCESS AND BUILD AND SUSTAIN POWER LOCALLY. OUR POLICY COUNSEL PROVIDED LEGAL AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO POLICY REFORM CAMPAIGNS ON ISSUES IN THE CRIMINAL SYSTEM AROUND THE COUNTRY. AND OUR COMMUNICATIONS STAFF ELEVATED THE STORIES OF OUR CLIENTS AND PROVIDED FUEL TO THE BROADER MOVEMENT FOR A MORE JUST CRIMINAL SYSTEM. |
