This election season is the most unusual — and uncertain — in recent memory: record numbers of people are voting early, those voting on Election Day will have to contend with pandemic-related precautions, and, according to NPR, “2020…may be the most litigated election ever.” The fights over how people can vote, and which ballots will be counted, will likely continue after November 3rd. Considering this, how can nonprofits support a fair election? What can they do and say if the results are contested? And, what can private foundations do? Check out Bolder Advocacy’s latest resources that help you understand what your organization can and cannot do in the event of a contested election (whether national, state, or local). Our new resources — factsheets, podcasts, and webinars — cover both what nonprofits and private foundations can do. And for those of you wondering what you can do between now and Election Day, check out these Bolder Advocacy resources: Stay tuned….in the next few days, we will be releasing additional resources on how your organization can weigh in once the results are determined. Of course, you can call our Bolder Advocacy team during standard business hours (EST) for one-on-one technical assistance at 866-NP-LOBBY (866-675-6229), submit a question online to our advocacy coaches using this form, or email us at [email protected]. | |
