Laws on the Ballot: How Nonprofits Can Take A Stand on Ballot Questions

Many states put laws and constitutional amendments on the ballot, asking voters to make critical public policy decisions at the polls. Often, the result of these ballot questions directly affects nonprofit organizations and our communities, so we have a vested interest in the outcome. Learn how your nonprofit can take action and benefit from engaging the public around ballot measures. We will address why your work on ballot measures is considered "lobbying," rather than "electioneering" and what nonprofits can do in their advocacy efforts for or against ballot measures.

Featured Presenters: Abby Levine is the Legal Director for Advocacy Programs at the Alliance for Justice. Ben Dudley is the Executive Director of Engage Maine.
