We've been super busy at @AFJBeBold to get nonprofits ready for a POTUS election that is unlikely to have a declared winner tomorrow night or Wednesday morning. https://bolderadvocacy.org/2020/10/30/contested-election-resources-for-nonprofits/ (1/6)
First up... a fact sheet I wrote on what nonprofits can do if there is a contested election (POTUS to dog catcher... if, um, your dog catcher is an elected position in your community). https://bolderadvocacy.org/resource/what-nonprofits-can-do-in-a-contested-election/ (2/6)

Last, but not least—and we don't do this very often—I recorded a 30 minute overview about what nonprofits can do in contested elections. If you're unclear on what you can and cannot do, check this out. . Above all, take a deep breath... (6/6)
