SUMMARY:Public Webinar: How 501(c)(3)s Can Educate and Advocate During Election Season 
DESCRIPTION:Though public charities must remain nonpartisan\, they have a critical role to play throughout the election cycle! Not only can public charities engage in issue advocacy during election season\, but they can also conduct robust voter and candidate education campaigns and mobilize the public to get out the vote. After this session\, you will have a better understanding of how to safely engage in nonpartisan advocacy during an election.   \nParticipants will learn: \n\nHow you can continue to advocate for your issues during election years;  \nHow you can educate the public through candidate forums and questionnaires;  \nHow you can respond to candidate statements objectively;  \nHow you can conduct nonpartisan voter registration and ensure get-out-the-vote efforts are conducted legally; \nHow you can safely support or oppose ballot measures without being partisan; and \nHow staff and volunteers’ partisan activities in their personal time can be kept separate from their activities on behalf of the organization.
