Navigating Nonprofit Advocacy: Insights and Strategies for Effective Engagement
Dear IECC Community,
In today’s unpredictable policy environment, it is essential for nonprofits to stay vigilant and prepared to navigate various challenges that may impact their operations. By staying informed and proactive, nonprofits can continue to make a significant impact. We are dedicated to providing essential guidelines and timely resources to help nonprofits be informed and effectively engage in policy advocacy.
Public Counsel, a nonprofit public interest law firm dedicated to advancing civil rights and racial and economic justice, recently shared a publication for California nonprofits to address frequently asked questions about the DEI Executive Orders.
Follow the National Council of Nonprofits (NCN) for up-to-date resources on executive actions and their potential impact on nonprofit funding. Lask week the NCN outlined various Executive Orders (EOs) signed by President Trump that impact nonprofits, covering areas such as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, government grants, immigration, and more. It highlights the potential challenges and legal actions expected as a result of these orders, and provides resources for nonprofits to track and respond to these changes.
Alliance for Justice (AFJ), a nonprofit organization that fortifies the progressive movement through the focus on federal and state courts and proves resources to maximize nonprofits’ advocacy capacity updates an article on how 501(c)(3)s can engage in advocacy around executive branch actions. The AFJ stresses the importance to speak out against harmful executive actions and educate the administration on how these actions will impact your communities and the people you serve.
