ADVOCACY | Activating Your Networks to Get Out the Vote

Nonprofits can (and should) support activities that encourage voters to register, participate in elections, and stay civically engaged.*

On October 15, join us for Artist Communities + Civic Engagement where we will explore strategies for activating your institution. In the meantime, here are resources and steps to get you moving:

• Use these nonprofit-friendly social media posts and emails from DanceUSA's toolkit to engage your networks.

• Find concrete steps you can take in the next four weeks—including mobilizing volunteers, spreading the word about early voting, and giving staff election day off—at Nonprofit VOTE.

Advocacy requires long-term relationship building and consistent messaging. Learn the basics in the League of American Orchestras’ Playing Your Part: Guide to Public Policy Advocacy.

*501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations are strictly prohibited from supporting the election or defeat of any candidate for office, but they can engage in non-partisan voter engagement.
