The church is called to be involved in the struggle for justice for all God’s people but finding the right balance to do that is a challenge! With important elections ahead in the fall and the Johnson Amendment intact for now, it’s a great time to learn and review laws, rules and best practices in advocacy.
- Advocacy & developing an Advocacy Plan for your church’s mission
- What is (and isn’t) allowed in advocacy and lobbying - what are the federal rules?
- What about Alaska specific rules and Alaska Public Offices Commission (APOC)?
- Empowering your leaders in the work of advocacy
- Discussions: advocacy in diverse congregations
