SUMMARY:Freedom Coalition - "Policy Engagement 101: Crash Course for Non-Profits"
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Freedom Coalition Meeting:\nOur November 29th meeting has been rescheduled to\nTuesday\, December 6th\, at 5:30 pm (EST)\n“Policy Engagement 101: Crash Course for Non-Profits”\nPresented by: Alisa Bernard\nDirector of Public Policy and Advocacy for Thistle Farms\nAre you a non-profit organization considering or currently involved in grassroots advocacy efforts but often unsure of where to start or how to effectively strategize? Have you ever felt like your organization lacks the capacity or professional skillset to truly make a difference? If so\, we invite you to join us for this special “crash course for non-profits” with Alisa Bernard\, the Director of Public Policy and Advocacy for Thistle Farms.\nDuring this featured presentation\, Alisa will share the basics of political advocacy and grassroots lobbying including key terms\, important tips and red tape for non-profits\, how to engage survivors\, and much more. In addition\, we will share important updates on human trafficking legislation and other advocacy efforts throughout Michigan and will provide strategic messaging tools and resources for those interested in joining and enhancing our collective approach to anti-human trafficking policy engagement in Michigan.\n\n  \n \nMeet Alisa Bernard…\nAlisa serves as the Director of Public Policy and Advocacy for Thistle Farms where she works to address harmful practices and policies that promote the sexual abuse and exploitation of women. Previously\, she served as the Executive Director of Education and Partnerships for the Organization for Prostitution Survivors\, was appointed to the Washington State Attorney General’s CSEC Coordinating Committee\, was a founding member of King County’s Ending Exploitation Collaborative\, and has consulted to such organizations as Amber Alert\, Demand Abolition\, World Without Exploitation\, NCMEC and NCOSE. Her writing has been featured in the Seattle Times\, Crosscut\, and Dignity Journal.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe purpose of MAP’s Freedom Coalition is to bring together experienced community advocates and professionals for a unified and comprehensive approach to addressing human trafficking in Michigan. Our vision is to eradicate human trafficking through collaborative efforts in the areas of demand abatement\, survivor support\, school outreach\, and community awareness and engagement.\nWe plan to meet virtually the 4th Tuesday of every other month for the sharing of statewide updates\, best practices\, new research and resources\, specialized training\, and more. Attendees are also provided time to network and share updates with one another.\n\nJoin our network!
