We at NTEN like to think that with the increasing use of social and mobile media to support campaigns and causes, this year will see even more civic participation. Find out what nonprofit organizations can, can't -- and maybe should -- do during the election season at our upcoming webinar, "Nonprofits and the Elections: What Can We Do, How Should We Do It?"

Organizations need to think about how they use online advocacy as a way to measure engagement. Common (and legal) activities include raising awareness of particular issues, issuing voting guides, and voter registration.

This webinar will explore the following:

  • Using an integrated online advocacy approach as a tool for measurable engagement on issues.
  • Actions that 501c3s can and can't do during an election season.
  • Communication rules for the organization's stakeholders.

When: Wednesday, August 6th, 11 am PT / 2 PM ET

Cost: $30 for NTEN Members, $60 for non-members

Presented by: Abby Levine, Deputy Director of Advocacy Programs, Alliance for Justice and Charles Lenchner, NY Outreach and Support Manager, DemocracyInAction.org
