Can nonprofits advocate? Yes! Can they lobby? Absolutely! Are there rules you need to know before getting started? You bet there are!

We will cover:
- the meaning of advocacy
- why advocacy is important for nonprofits

- voter engagement and registration methods
- and a small planning session for your organization in regard to advocacy
Anybody can be an advocate, so if you've been nervous about entering the advocacy sphere, this is the perfect opportunity to get grounded and equipped!
