Wow, it's March already! With a new month, we have another 501 Tech Club Brown Bag lunch event for those interested in nonprofit technology, this time focusing on online advocacy.
Jeanette Russell, of Democracy In Action, will join us to explain that online advocacy is not just about sending mass emails to congress. It’s about growing and strengthening your support base, fundraising and integrating online and offline tactics to influence decision makers. This brown bag offers practical advice to organizations who want to begin, or ramp up, their online presence. We'll provide visual examples of how groups of all sizes are finding success using online communication. We will also touch on how DemocracyInAction's new "Actions 2.0" tool is leading the way in effectively delivering your message to Congress and other decsion makers.
