Tools We Provide To Our Members
The Partnership helps thousands of organizations
‘turbo-charge’ their own issue advocacy and grassroots networks. We provide the following to our members:
- A sophisticated communications network that will alert organizational
and business leaders when action on a public policy issue needs to be
taken, along with specific plans for coordinating such action;
- A specialized web site - branded for each organization that wants one
– containing a powerful array of information and online lobbying tools
that can help employees, association members and citizens reach out and
lobby Members of Congress, Governors, State Legislators and other
elected officials;
- In-depth information on a wide variety of policy issues, including
backgrounders, white papers, talking points and draft letters and op-eds;
- Access to a vast network to allow members to share information, ideas
and alerts with others and to more easily build support across sectors
for specific issues;
- Greater visibility with and access to top decision-makers at the
local, state and federal levels;
- Tools to allow employees, members and individuals research voting
records of elected officials, register to vote and vote via absentee
ballots;
- Assistance with earned and paid media operations;
- Training for grassroots activists and operational manuals for field
personnel; and
- Resources to help activists conduct special events and other field
operations.
As a collaborative coalition, the Partnership provides these
tools to its member for their own use on those issues the
Partnership has targeted for action. Members decide whether or not to
use these tools and engage their own constituencies and networks. In
this manner, Partnership members can choose engage on issues that fit
within their individual public policy agendas.
