Advocacy vs. Lobbying: Using Your Voice & Navigating Compliance

Advocacy vs. Lobbying: Using Your Voice & Navigating Compliance

Nonprofits deal with social issues and community needs and can find themselves in the challenging middle ground between service and advocacy. When politics impact a nonprofits ability to meet its mission, how can organizations use their voices?

Participants will leave with increased confidence in decision making about advocacy or lobbying activities they might take on alone or in partnership with other organizations; increased confidence in knowing their organization is compliant and can stay that way; positive experience connecting with peers.

This event will be held in person and ONEplace will send the location in a calendar invite at least one day before the event. We will send a reminder and please add this to your calendar. We also expect this event to reach capacity, so please let us know if your plans change and you can no longer attend.

Facilitated by: Michigan Community Resources (https://mi-community.org/)
