Build Effective Advocacy Strategies During the Legislative Session

Get ready to level up your advocacy game. It’s time to make some noise and create change!

About This Training

The middle of Minnesota’s legislative session is not the time to sit back. It’s when influence matters most. Build Effective Advocacy Strategies During the Legislative Session is intended for advocates, nonprofit professionals, and community leaders who are showing up at the Capitol, participating in issue-specific rallies, and ready to turn public presence into real policy impact.

This training meets you in the moment. It focuses on how to navigate a fast-moving legislative environment, align with coalition partners, and communicate clearly with decision-makers while bills are actively being debated. If you’re attending rallies and wondering what to do next, this session gives you the strategy to move from visibility to action.

Who This Webinar Is For?

This training is ideal for:

  • Nonprofit professionals engaging in policy or advocacy work.
  • Coalition members coordinating advocacy during the legislative session.
  • Community leaders and organizers participating in issue-based rallies at the Capitol.
  • Advocates ready to act strategically when timing is critical.
What Will I Gain?

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

  • Track where key bills stand during the legislative session and identify moments of influence.
  • Communicate effectively with policymakers during high-pressure, high-visibility periods.
  • Coordinate rapid-response strategies with coalition partners before, during, and after rallies.
  • Strengthen community and partner engagement when urgency matters.
Why Should I Attend?

Rallies create energy. Strategy creates results. This training helps you connect the two — ensuring your advocacy efforts during the legislative session are coordinated, timely, and effective.

Advocacy & Coalition Training Series

The Advocacy & Coalition Training Series is a three-part virtual training program created of the people, by the people, and for the people. For nonprofit professionals, community leaders, and grassroots organizers, this series equips participants with practical tools to build coalitions, engage communities, and influence change throughout Minnesota’s legislative process.

Unlike traditional advocacy trainings that focus on theory or insider knowledge, the series is community-grounded, nonpartisan, and built for real workloads. Each session emphasizes actionable strategies, clear timelines, and confidence-building approaches that help participants move from understanding advocacy to actually doing it.

Spanning from January through June, the series provides a cohesive learning pathway — from foundational advocacy skills to mid-legislative strategies to year-round coalition engagement. Participants leave with the skills, clarity, and momentum needed to turn conversations into action and sustain advocacy efforts beyond a single legislative session.
