Nonprofit Policy and Advocacy in Action: The Path Ahead

Special Series:

Nonprofits & Election 2020

November 7, 2019 - February 11, 2021

Diversity Equity and Inclusion

October 29, 2020 - April 8, 2021

 

The turbulence and unrest of the 2020 election cycle will continue to impact our country, communities and nonprofit sector well into the future, with towering challenges in this time of COVID, racial equity at the fore, and political polarization. How should the nonprofit sector forge ahead with new state and federal legislative agendas, with newly retooled policy priorities, and with eyes on the prize of meeting their missions?

Join us for our final workshop in our 2020 Election Series as policy experts from the nonprofit and philanthropic communities analyze strategic goals, next steps, and lessons learned, even as the 2022 and 2024 election cycles already are underway.
