Overview
Mission
We will use all the legal tools at our disposal to protect nebraskans and expose extremists and their tactics and disinformation.
What it reported doing in 2024
We are a group of volunteer attorneys and advocates who are dedicated to fighting extremism and disinformation against educators, public officials, election officials, and members of the lgbtq community. No nebraskan deserves to be the target of disinformation, defamation, harassment, and intimidation.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
