What is advocacy, and why it matters You have a big, bold vision to better the world with your nonprofit—whether you’re developing programs and influencing policies around education, social justice, human rights, or animal rights.

Black women hold diverse and nuanced socioeconomic and political identities, and as such, our policies targeting racial and gender inequality must be flexible and adaptable. This is a core tenet of racially just policies and programs. Take for example, Shaquille, a mother in Jackson, MS, who has experienced homelessness.

First, you have to have the right story for the right publication. Sometimes it’s a matter of zeroing in on a single aspect of your organization’s work or an unexpected story, such as two volunteers falling in love while serving soup side-by-side in the homeless shelter’s kitchen. Start by listing all the publications in your area.

Often, the very same nonprofit that is advocating for social justice policy may pay its own workers poverty-level wages. Black Lives Matter or Pride Month marketing campaigns might lead us to believe these movements are attracting all the funding they need, but they are not. The reality is more complicated.

When you think about an inkind gift, you may think of stuff, such as bottled water and packaged snacks for events or hotel-sized shampoo and conditioner for a shelter serving homeless families. For example, a homeless shelter in my area was given a piece of property in a prestigious community.

How did your youth organizing lead you to decide to make social movement work your career? Here, I also got acclimated to the themes and issues of social justice. For me, it was a great setting to decide that ultimately, I wanted to make a commitment to social change. We became storm refugees, and I was homeless.

Decades of discriminatory housing, transportation, and land-use policy combined with economic disinvestment have resulted in communities that are residentially segregated by income, race, ethnicity, language, and immigration status. When housing is unaffordable, it leaves little money left over to buy healthy foods and critical medicines.

Without national research into the field or field-level convening or visioning, national policy focusing on these organizations became rudderless. In addition to real estate, almost every organization (96 percent) provides some kind of social service, such as advocacy, workforce development, housing counseling, and so on.

All we’ve been doing is emailing and maybe if we weren’t socially distanced, we would have met each other already. if you have a give policy in place and they have not given, does not mean that they don’t consider themselves family. They have helped us in marketing. So, Sabrina, thanks so much for doing this.

In Washington, DC , dozens were arrested for calling for generous public funding for affordable housing at the office of Representative Steve Womack (R-AR), who chairs the US House subcommittee on housing appropriations. These campaigns are part of a growing grassroots movement that is coalescing behind the notion of social housing.

Here at Nonprofit Marketing Guide, we believe that cultural competency is an important element of good nonprofit communications. Think about how LBGTQ donors and potential clients experience your agency’s website or social media channels. I asked Victoria for advice on how to communicate a safe and LGBTQ friendly agency.

Making matters worse, as millions of Americans struggled to withstand the economic damage of COVID-19, private equity firms expanded into the housing market, in some cases buying entire neighborhoods. Social housing is not just about providing shelter, but creating high-quality, permanently affordable housing across a range of incomes.

Image credit: Roman Kraft on Unsplash It’s becoming increasingly hard to find a housing justice organizer who hasn’t been to Vienna or extolled the virtues of its social housing sector, and wants to do something similar in the United States. What is Social Housing? What’s harder to find is a political strategy to achieve as much.

Advocacy and organizing for racially equitable housing policies is a cornerstone of building a just housing system in the United States. COVID-19 has exacerbated this crisis, and the country’s recent racial reckoning has heightened awareness of the need for racially equitable housing policies to support healthier communities.
