Later this morning, I’m looking forward to participating in an informative discussion at the 2023 NJ Nonprofits Conference hosted by the New Jersey Center for Nonprofits. The panel is titled “Players Play: Sharpening Your Advocacy Game” and a brief description of the panel is below: “Advocacy is mission work – and given the many crucial issues facing nonprofits and our communities, it’s more important than ever. Come hear a brief overview of what constitutes advocacy vs. lobbying (both are OK!), and learn from our panel of experienced lobbyists and public officials on what makes for good issue advocacy (and what doesn’t!) and practical steps you can take right now to get into The Game. We will also briefly review the status of the Center’s current legislative priorities.” https://lnkd.in/eRDSbSZr

Join us at SCG's 2024 Policy Conference: Long-Term Visions, Lasting Change! We will examine how California's philanthropic and civic sectors can pave the way for long-lasting change. Hear from subject matter experts and peer colleagues about tools and tactics, including advocacy for co-governance and fair implementation, power-wielding, and collective visioning. With the support of civic leaders and philanthropic institutions, we can build on the work of community-based organizations and grassroots organizers to develop and implement policies that sustain and strengthen communities. In partnership with nonprofits, advocates, and activists, we can shift from reactive responses to forward-looking solutions with a policy lens to address deep-rooted injustices. Together, let's shape a clearer vision for a better future, creating lasting transformations for current and future generations. Learn more: https://buff.ly/3TFHEGD #scgPPC24
