Learn the Rules of Social Media Advocacy

March 11, 2015

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr - the list of new avenues available to nonprofits to communicate their messages has grown tremendously, but that doesn't mean the rules that govern advocacy have changed. Do you know if your organization is following the rules? Let our friends with Alliance for Justice answer your questions and give you a quick training in their webinar Social Media Advocacy Rules for Nonprofits

This one-hour webinar will be held on March 18 at 2pm ET, and will cover: 

  • How your nonprofit can take advantage of social media, while still staying in compliance with laws that regulate advocacy,
  • How to treat social media and other communications in the context of lobbying limits for 501(c)(3) organizations, and
  • How 501(c)(3) organizations can avoid campaign intervention in an election year

Can your organization lose its tax status over a careless tweet? What if a politician "likes" your organization's Facebook page? Make sure you attend the webinar to find out.
