Choice is agency agency to escape the predominant violent socio-economic system of corporate colonialism and to change it from within. Working at the intersection of environmental justice, education and fashion development, our mission is to identify and manifest alternatives to the dominant model of fashion alternatives that bring forth ecological prosperity, as opposed to destruction, and that inspire citizens to form a relationship with fashion that extends beyond their role as consumer. 0 0 231144 45613 Our Stop Waste Colonialism campaign has established a new precedent for Extended Producer Responsibility, one that does not simply offset the cost of waste management within a linear economy but rather that funds the transition to true circularity. Grounded in self-representation and extensive research, we are advocating for textile-based Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs across the world to be Globally Accountable. Our campaign centers around a policy paper with more than 10,000 endorsements. 93787 We organize citizen scientists to perform weekly beach monitoring reports, tracking textile tentacles across a seven kilometer swath of Accra's beaches. Building on these findings we conduct weekly water and air sampling analysis along with regular passive air pollution monitoring in order to track the flow of waste pollution across the coastal environment. Through our first-of-its-kind solar powered research vessel, we will soon expand this monitoring and mapping effort off of the coastline and into the Gulf of Guinea. 3207666 3144934 We operate a paid apprenticeship program for young women leaving the dangerous job of head carrying secondhand clothing, which includes healthcare and education. We provide emergency relief for members of the secondhand clothing market in Ghana who encounter crisis. We install and maintain fire extinguishers across the market and operate long-range business transformation classes to bolster financial literacy skills. In addition we conduct weekly beach cleanups and perform material research and development to transform waste into new products and economic livelihoods. 398499 398499 3931096 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 3 1 0 1 GH 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 MD X IVENTURE ACCOUNTING GROUP 3019770090 1700 ROCKVILLE PIKE STE 110 ROCKVILLE MD 20852 James Branson Skinner FOUNDER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER 65.00 X X 42800 0 6636 Elizabeth Rae Ricketts FOUNDER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 65.00 X X 42800 0 6744 Daniel Mawuli QuisT TREASURER 6.00 X X 0 0 0 YVETTE TETTEH BOARD MEMBER 6.00 X 0 0 0 JAKE SARGENT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 85600 0 13380 0 0 0 0 0 7889681 7889681 Writing and Speaking F 900099 3549 3549 3549 Miscellaneous Income 900099 2408 2408 2408 7895638 5957 0 0 3144934 3144934 85600 85600 34450 34450 17876 17876 9900 9900 10000 10000 31300 10886 20414 248117 244396 3721 280 280 70228 70228 249258 249001 70 187 34301 32533 1768 Expendable Equipment 54628 50496 4132 Program supplies 38840 38820 20 Non Capitalize Office E 11182 11182 Dues & subscriptions 5823 4957 866 21223 11057 10166 4067940 3931096 136657 187 1342468 2741935 2500000 5000000 224108 151983 0 0 440690 0 17356 2700 4524622 7896618 0 12526 0 12526 X 0 0 0 0 4524622 7884092 4524622 7884092 4524622 7896618 X 3827698 10000 -478228 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 91373 270303 129288 389681 880645 91373 270303 129288 389681 880645 880645 880645 1.00000 1.00000 X Schedule A, Part VI, List of Unusual Grants: Description: UNUSUAL GRANT Date: 12/31/23 Amount: 7500000.
