AFJ Announces the Launch of State Resources |

We all know how confusing federal advocacy laws for nonprofits can be, which is why at Alliance for Justice, we have traveled the country for the past ten years providing training opportunities to ensure that all 501(c) organizations (including 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), 501(c)(5), and 501(c)(6) among others) act within their legal limits and are able to more aggressively and efficiently organize and advocate. Yet understanding federal law is only the beginning, the challenge of navigating state law in addition to federal rules and regulations can make grassroots organizing and advocacy feel like an impossible maze, deterring many organizations from advocating at their full potential. Our hope is that we can help you overcome the challenge these laws present with the launch of our new state law resources. Today, AFJ is proud to introduce our new web-based state law resources that will provide comprehensive guidance on several key issues and help answer questions like: * What level of lobbying triggers registration and reporting requirements in Arizona? * What is the current definition of electioneering communications in Colorado? * Can a 501(c)(4) make a contribution to a candidate in New Mexico? * When does a 501(c)(3) organization that is working to support a ballot measure have to register with the state in Wisconsin? These resources detail the state law on campaign finance and ballot measures, lobbying disclosure and voter registration issues and are currently available for: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, Wisconsin and Virginia with more states to be added in the coming months. Alliance for Justice is pleased to inform you that these newly-released state resources will be available to nonprofit groups free of charge!* How do you access these FREE resources? Visit our State Resources page at www.afj.org/stateresources, request a password, and one will be provided via e-mail. It's as simple as that.
