Virtual Briefing with Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins
|
|
|
|
Thank you Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, for listening to the concerns of Westchester's nonprofit sector and for your leadership and continued support in addressing the issues that impact the nonprofit sector and the people it serves. Over 150 members of the NPW community attended the event on Friday, January 21st.
Some of the issues shared during the briefing include - equitable contracting and wages, affordable housing, intersectional violence prevention and trauma services, and equity for people with disabilities.
In addition to these issues, we made our request clear: The nonprofit sector deserves to be treated like a business with the same opportunities to receive relief for operational expenses resulting from the pandemic. This is above funding to provide government mandated and other critical services. Continue your advocacy by taking the Nonprofit Policy Priorities Needs Assessment Survey.

A surprising number of people believe that 501c3 organizations cannot lobby. This is not true. Nonprofits are vehicles for democratic involvement, positive change and social justice, and, if done correctly, are allowed to advocate and lobby.
This online toolkit is a dynamic resource. NPW will add sections to provide updated information, as well as about materials on advocacy and lobbying on the County, State and Federal levels. |
