Vol 4, Issue 21
December 8, 2006
Welcome to the NPAction Update.
Now that the election is over, public officials have turned their attention to upcoming legislative sessions in Congress and the states. The President, governors and mayors will be ready to push their policy initiatives in 2007, and regulators continue to make decisions that implement laws. They need to hear from you! We've made it easier to find contact information for public officials at the federal, state and local level by using NPAction. See our Contact Government Officials site section to get started. Let the public know about your group's views on policy issues that impact your mission. See the Media Guide and site section on Public Outreach Through the Media. |

A Revisit to Blogs
Blogs can provide nonprofits with many benefits. Increasingly nonprofits use blogs for all types of advocacy. Blogs can involve staff and volunteers, coordinate efforts, educate, provide resources to constituents, gain media attention, and even reach prospective donors. As a public education and outreach tool, blogs can promote nonprofits' issues. On October 7, 2005 NPAction featured nonprofit blogs that continue to exist today. Since then the number of blogs throughout the nonprofit community has vastly increased. We have updated the article to provide more information on how this simple, cost-effective communication device can boost advocacy campaigns. Click here to read more.
