Advocacy: When Speaking Up REALLY Matters

Advocacy: When Speaking Up REALLY Matters
Wednesday, May 27 | 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM | Webinar

Presented by: Anne Gingerich, MSW, Executive Director, PANO

What will it take for us to link arms to collectively speak up for the 50,000 public charities (501(c)(3)s) in Pennsylvania? We think a global pandemic provides such a reason. Join PANO and your colleagues to learn about current issues that are moving forward at the federal and state levels. Discover language and tools that you can use when talking about your cause to your elected and appointed officials. And finally, learn the basics about how to track the time you spend lobbying for your cause.

Participants will discuss:

• The basics of lobbying
• Current federal and state issues
• How to get requests to one page or even one paragraph
• Relationship-building basics with elected officials
• Bridging political divides

The good news: you only have to be yourself and tell the story you already know, AND you can do in partnership with others who only want the best for your community.
