This is a critical moment for nonprofits.
Organizations are in the midst of both state and city budget cycles, while also navigating shifts at the federal level. Successful advocacy communications don’t just happen—it takes strategy, persistence, good ideas, and a knowledge of the government, political and media landscapes.
At anat., we work to ensure our clients’ voices are heard when it matters most.
Recently, our team has secured major media coverage for advocacy efforts, including:
▪️UNITED PROBATION OFFICERS ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK CITY – A two-page spread in the New York Daily News, highlighting the Department of Probation’s high attrition rate and advocating for better wages and working conditions for officers.
▪️Yaffed – Coverage in The New York Times, New York Daily News, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, BK Reader, NYS Focus, Capitol Pressroom and more, spotlighting their fight for the state to enforce education standards.
▪️NEW Pride Agenda – Calling on New York State to protect the TGNB community and advocating for LGBTQ+ rights with impactful actions, including a vigil in Chelsea and a rally in Albany, resulting in coverage with the Times Union Media Group, POLITICO NY, Prism and more.
