There are occasions when nonprofits must engage in the politics surrounding elections, but need more clarity on what they can and can't do. The Spin Project's Loud and Clear In An Election Year is a must-have for anyone who wants to change the world while understanding and obeying the rules of non-profit tax exemption.

Loud And Clear in an Election Year helps nonprofits to courageously pursue their political missions while remaining within the law. The book combines examples of grassroots-friendly strategies to communicate values to voters, with clear explanations of what communications tools can and cannot legally be used to educate the public.

Loud and Clear also focuses on how grassroots advocates can use public relations to educate and engage voters during an election cycle. Chapters address e-advocacy, op-eds, scorecards and media events such as town halls and candidate forums. Short case studies and checklists provide easy reference and quick inspiration.
