Participants leave with a lawmaker contact sheet and a ready-to-use set of advocacy materials.
- Identify Your Lawmakers — map your federal, state, and local representatives, their committee assignments, and the staff who handle your issue area.
- Identify Your Issue & Ask — choose one priority issue and define a specific, actionable ask you can bring to a lawmaker.
- Draft Your Messaging Funnel — turn that issue and ask into three linked pieces of collateral, each shorter than the last:
- Letter to your representative — a one-paragraph statement of the issue and the ask, ready to send or hand-deliver.
- Tweet / X post — the same issue and ask distilled to a single shareable post.
- Bumper sticker line — the ask boiled down to a short, memorable phrase.
- Engage With a Policymaker — learn directly from a member of the legislature who will share their perspective on what works in advancing legislation and requests for funding.
Important announcement!
Pay equity is a serious issue for nonprofits, and at NPC, we want to respect the diversity of our community. In honor of that diversity, NPC is now using a new pricing structure for all its workshop programming, based on the The Sliding Scale: A Tool of Economic Justice (aka The Green Bottle Method), developed by Alexis J. Cunningfolk.
This is a simple way to let you choose the price that honestly matches your personal and/or your organization’s financial reality. All tiers get the same offering, and every payment is valued equally. Please reach out if you have any questions or thoughts about this pricing model.
GREEN BOTTLE FULL — For those with steady income who aren’t worried about basics, but are working through debt, building savings, or moving beyond paycheck to paycheck. If family, a partner, or friends could help cover the cost, please consider that first so the scale stays available to others.
GREEN BOTTLE TIPPED — For those who struggle to consistently access health care, housing, food, or child care and are living paycheck to paycheck.
GREEN BOTTLE LOW — For those facing the greatest financial hardship, where cost would otherwise be a barrier to participating at all.
We trust you to choose your own tier. No documentation, no explanation needed — just make your selection at checkout.
