Preparing for Politically Motivated Attacks
Event Details
This free webinar is offered with support from the Elmina B. Sewall Foundation.
We are excited to host Bolder Advocacy for a webinar on "Preparing for Politically Motivated Attacks"
The more successful nonprofit advocates become, the more their organizations are placed under the microscope by individuals and groups who would like to see them fail. Nonprofits (and their staff) are sometimes attacked for political reasons as they engage in successful advocacy and civic engagement efforts, such as voter registration and education. After this workshop, you will have a clear understanding of how to identify and prepare for politically motivated attacks.
Participants will learn:
- How to identify politically motivated attacks,
- Best practices for responding to false narratives,
- How to protect yourself on social media, and
- How to train your staff and volunteers to respond to these situations.
