Austin Justice Coalition and Fiscal Sponsorship Questions

The Austin Justice Coalition has become a central influence on Mayor Steve Adler and the Austin City Council's anti-racist policies. An investigation into the organization's finances reveals they have not published recent Form 990s and operate under the fiscal sponsorship of the Texas Fair Defense Fund. The hosts question the transparency of the group, noting that most of their 2017 funds went toward salaries and travel rather than community programs.
