Welcome to the NPAction Update.

How do you make change? By building advocacy capacity and carrying out a plan. But how do you build advocacy capacity? NPAction suggests using the National Council of Nonprofit Association's (NCNA) toolkit for building public policy capacity as well as the lessons learned in New Voices at the Civic Table. This project, conducted by the Alliance for Children & Families in 2006, demonstrates that there are powerful possibilities often buried and rarely uncovered in our nation's most vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. If you would like to influence key structures or policies, then this article provides just the information you will need to begin laying the groundwork for increased advocacy/participation in public policy.
