The 2020 U.S. Census and 2020 Presidential Election make this the most important year for civic participation in a generation. That's why a group of Pennsylvania organizations say they have joined together to help community groups and activists learn what every nonprofit should be doing this year to effectively increase participation in both — especially among the state's hardest-to-reach neighbors.
The result, a three-part webinar training series for Pennsylvania nonprofits, kicked off on Fri., May 15 with "The Basics & New Pa. Voting Laws," with training presentations from Rachel Boss, Community Impact Manager at the Bureau of Campaign Finance and Civic Engagement for the Pennsylvania Department of State, and Caitlin Donnelly, program director for Nonprofit Vote. The full webinar, including a Q&A, can be viewed here: Understanding The Basics and New Pennsylvania Voting Laws
