From Suzanne Smith of Social Impact Architects:
"There are many reasons to start advocating now for the issues that are important to you and your organization. Whether you are energized to ensure nonprofits and social entrepreneurs get access to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, provide relief to millions impacted by natural disasters, or improve infrastructure through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, advocacy must take center stage as a key priority for your organization. We have argued its importance in past blogs, but advocacy is now just as critical for nonprofits as marketing, communications and fundraising. If you are not doing it, you are behind the curve."
