Advocacy is one of the social sector’s greatest powers, but lobbying restrictions and common misconceptions can make it challenging to know when and how to advocate. This webinar will support organizations in engaging in responsive and strategic advocacy by reviewing the responsibilities of 501(c)(3) organizations. We will review case studies to outline key differences between lobbying and advocacy. We will also discuss 501(h) elections and considerations for nonprofit organizations should they elect to file.

This briefing will outline the current shutdown landscape, its impacts on nutrition and early childhood programs, and what community-based organizations should expect in the coming weeks. We will also cover practical and urgent advocacy steps organizations and individuals can take to protect children, families, and the social sector workforce.

Effective messaging is essential for leading successful advocacy campaigns. Social Current’s November Grassroots Advocacy Network convening will discuss opportunities to tailor language and message framing to the unique priorities and concerns representatives have for their districts.   

Effective advocacy campaigns require successful messaging. This webinar will support participants in crafting values-based messages that connect across ideological divides and resonate with diverse viewpoints.
